In a contract, who is the promisor and who is the promisee? I am having a hard time figuring this out.... The case goes that M made a contract with D, to buy D's land. The contract said time was of the essence. To make a long story short, M didn't arrive on time, D declared the contract breached because of M's late arrival, and M attempted to sue D for specific performance. I am not a law major, and no i'm not doing homework; however, I have to know this case for a reason. Can anyone tell me, in this situation, who is the promisor and who is the promisee? It's confusing because both of the people involved in the contract made promises to one another right? So how do you know which is which? Thanks!

Let a Judge decide but usually the one who promises to do something is the "promisor".
