Facts

Plaintiffs sued defendants for breach of contract and common counts related to the sale of a reflexology business located in Brea.

PLAINTIFFS' CONTENTIONS:
Plaintiffs contended that defendants breached the parties' agreement to purchase the business by failing to make payments due and by abandoning the premises.

DEFENDANT'S CONTENTIONS:
Defendant contended in its demurrer that the purported agreement referenced a possible future business sale but that the complaint failed to include essential documents that would establish a sale had taken place.

Damages

Plaintiffs sought $57,756 in damages.

Result

The court sustained defendant's demurrer with leave to amend, finding that the agreement and plaintiffs' allegations did not establish an enforceable agreement. Rather, the agreement was an agreement to agree, and plaintiffs failed to provide a bill of sale and promissory note that could serve as a basis for their claims.
