SABERS, Justice
(concurring specially).
I write specially to point out that Middleton is distinguishable on its facts because the contract therein did not contain the key language: “in full satisfaction and liquidation of all damages by it sustained.” (Emphasis added). In addition, as the majority points out, the Middleton contract contained a saving clause which permitted the sellers to “use such other remedy or remedies as may be authorized by law.” No such saving clause existed in this case.
Therefore, I agree with the majority that in this case, the sellers retained the payments and improvements in full satisfaetion and liquidation of all damages sustained.
