WIEAND, Judge
dissenting:
I respectfully dissent. West Development Group, Ltd. (West) had agreed that the closing documents in this transaction would be submitted to counsel for the lender, Horizon Financial, F.A. (Horizon) for approval prior to closing. Horizon was represented at the closing by a representative who was a non-lawyer. When the mortgage documents were changed during the closing, Horizon’s representative announced that he would not complete the closing without approval of the revised mortgage documents by counsel. When he asked for additional time so that Horizon’s counsel might review the altered documents, the sellers objected and walked out of the closing. Under these circumstances, West, the buyer, failed to show a breach of the loan agreement by Horizon, and the trial court correctly so held.
*202I would affirm the order of the trial court which denied the buyer’s post-trial motion to remove the compulsory nonsuit entered in the buyer’s action against the lender.
