Summary judgment was properly granted to plaintiff purchasers upon their cause of action for specific performance of the parties' contract for the sale of real property. Plaintiffs made out a prima facie entitlement to specific performance by demonstrating that they had substantially performed under the contract and were willing and able to perform their remaining obligations, that defendant was able to convey the property, and that there was no adequate remedy at law (see Niagara Mohawk Power Corp. v. Graver Tank Mfg. Co., 470 F. Supp. 1308, 1324). Defendant seller did not, in opposing summary judgment, meet her consequent burden to demonstrate the existence of a triable issue respecting plaintiffs' entitlement to specific performance. Indeed, the record discloses that, for five years, defendant, in a prolonged attempt to deprive plaintiffs of their bargain, repeatedly frustrated the closing of the real estate transaction to which the parties had agreed.
We have considered defendant's remaining contentions and find them unavailing.
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
