Occasionally preliminary agreements for the sale of land contracts are executed on Sunday and dated some other day, the parties in such case being under the impression that changing the date cures the infirmity of such agreements having been made on Sunday.

It is well settled that such agreements are absolutely void and cannot be specifically enforced or made the basis of an action for damages. Moreover, such agreements cannot be ratified unless followed by such acts of part performance as would raise strong equities between the parties.32
