1. ““[2] It has generally been held that where a prospective purchaser seeks to enforce his rights under a contract for the purchase of land, but has failed to appear before a notary for the purpose of executing the sale within the delay provided in the purchase agreement, then that purchaser is not entitled to specific performance of the agreement. Trans continental Development Corporation v. Bruning, 195 So.2d 430 (La.App. 4th Cir.1967); Reine v. Kirn, [ 234 La. 923 ], 102 So.2d 66 (La.App. Orleans 1958); Rabin v. Whitney, 347 So.2d 1253 (La.App. 1st Cir.1977). This issue was specifically-addressed in DiCristina v. Weiser, 215 La. 1115 , 42 So.2d 868 (1949). In that case, the contract provided that the parties had the right to specific performance if the sale was executed within a certain term. The court ruled that the failure to take title within the delay provided barred the purchaser’s right to specific performance. Furthermore, the court held that any extension of time for performance had to be written. See also: Bellestri v. Clark, 239 La. 713 , 119 So.2d 836 (1960); Ezell v. Loucks, 167 So.2d 452 (La.App. 1st Cir.1964); LSA-C.C. Arts. 1913 and 2462.””
