The vendor may sue to compel the purchaser to carry out the contract, and the courts will give damages for failure to do so. The damages allowed will be the difference in the value of the land at the time of the suit and the contract price. The reason of this rule of damages is, the property may have increased in value, and thus the vendor may not be damaged at all, or may even be benefited, when he gets the property back.

Section 87w.-PURCHASER'S REMEDY IF VENDOR FAILS TO FULFIL CONTRACT.-It may happen that the vendor, when the time comes when he should make a deed conveying the title to the purchaser, is unable to do so. He may have been mistaken as to his own title, or some other circumstances may render it impossible for the vendor to meet his obligation, so that he cannot convey a title to the land to the purchaser. In such case, the law is, the purchaser may sue the vendor, and recover back the money he has paid, with interest thereon. If the purchaser has been in possession, and has made improvements on the land, the value of the improvements may also be recovered, if the vendor misrepresented the facts and thereby induced the purchaser to buy.
