Summary
The owner sought to compel completion of a building and a delay penalty; the court held the contract void because its specifications were unknown, so it had no effect, and the judgment was upheld on appeal.
Principle
Gross uncertainty about the subject of a contract voids it, so neither performance nor its penalty clause can be enforced.
