The respondents charge that the trial judge erred in instructing the jury that a binding and enforceable contract for the sale of the subject property did not exist between movant and respondents is without substance. The purpose of instructions to a jury is to submit disputed issues of fact for their determination. The court found, as a matter of law, that a binding contract did not exist and took the determination of that issue from the jury. The jury must believe that there was no binding contract between the movant and the respondents by this instruction and that it was not necessary for it to make such a determination. The action of the trial judge in so instructing was not error.
