Court found on contemporaneous evidence that both parties, through MWC, agreed to postpone completion from 2 January 2008 to 9 January 2008; the oral postponement did not extinguish the original written agreement and, applying the principle that informal parol variations cannot be set up to defeat enforcement of the original written contract, the plaintiff was entitled to specific performance of the formal sale agreement; defendant's counterclaim and plea of laches were dismissed.
