A purchaser under contract to buy land had ... at common law only a right to damages if his vendor broke the contract. But in equity he had a right to compel his vendor to convey the land itself. This right to specific performance created a right in the land, a species of equitable property right. Therefore, if A agreed to sell land to B, ... B was equitable owner from the time of the contract, and could enforce his equitable right to the land against anyone except a "bona fide" purchaser of a legal estate without notice of the contract.
