¶1The appellants brought suit to enforce the specific performance of a contract for the sale of real estate. The court dismissed the bill of complaint.
¶2Applications for the enforcement of specific performance of a contract for the sale of real estate are addressed to the sound judicial discretion of the chancellor. Such discretion is controlled by the provisions and principles of law and equity applicable to the particular facts and circumstances; and unless it clearly appears that the chancellor has erred in his decree in refusing a specific performance, it will not be disturbed on appeal.
¶3Contracts for the sale of real estate will not be specifically enforced where the particular facts and circumstances clearly show unequality of the contracting parties-by reason of the inexperience and lack of information of one party with reference to the subject-matter as com*434pared with the superior business qualities and information of the other party, resulting in a contract based on manifestly inadequate consideration the enforcement of which would be inequitable and unjust.
¶4There is ample evidence to sustain the action of the chancellor, in refusing specific performance of the contract, and the decree is affirmed.
