The developer's obligation to deliver is not limited to the mere handing over of the title deed and the layout plan but includes the obligation to clearly mark on the ground the boundaries of the plots sold. Accordingly, a Court of Appeal may decide that a developer who sells adjoining plots without first having the boundaries demarcated commits a contractual breach.
