Holding
The court held that the Superior Court properly exercised its equitable jurisdiction to order specific performance of a contract for the sale of land, finding that the Probate Court’s prior dismissal of a related petition “without prejudice” was a valid jurisdictional trigger and that the evidence supported the lower court’s findings on the contract’s validity and adequacy of consideration.
