The mere delay in making available

This decision provides important clarification of your property law. Here is what it changes for you.

The situation

The mere delay in making a unit in a building under construction available does not constitute a lack of conformity with the contractual provisions authorising the purchaser to place the balance of the price in escrow.

What the law says

This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.

Key points to remember

• Strictly comply with the statutory time limits for taking legal action
• Keep all your supporting documents (title deeds, deeds, correspondence)
