Green owned an empty lot in Plymouth, Massachusetts
In 1980, Green agreed to sell the lot to Hickey for $15,000
Green = lot seller
Hickey = lot buyer = plaintiff
On July 12th 1980, Hickey gave Green $500 deposit for the empty lot; however, Green didn't cash the deposit check
A few weeks later, Hickey accepted a deposit to sell his primary residence since he was planning to move to the empty lot & build a house there
On July 16th 1980, Green told Hickey (buyer) that she was going to sell the lot to another party for $16,000
Hickey replied that he had sold his own house in reliance to buying Green's lot; therefore, Hickey offered to match the $16,000 offer, yet Green declined interest to sell to Hickey

Hickey sued Green for [[specific performance]].
