Question

Zack enters into a contract to buy Olivia’s home. Per the terms of the contract, Zack must put down a $10,000 earnest money deposit and have the property inspected within five days. In reality, he puts down a $12,000 deposit and has the property inspected within two days. This is an example of ______.

Answer 1

Answer:

performance of a contract

Explanation:

When you enter a contract you can perform your part of the contract, not perform your part of the contract or partially perform your part of the contract. In legal terms, there is no such thing as over performance.

in this case, Zack performed his part of the contract. Him making a slightly higher deposit or getting the inspection done before the due date, will not alter the total consideration of the contract, e.g. selling price will remain unchanged and the house will be the same one.
