Vendor's Refusal to Execute Notarized Deed of Land Sale Upheld
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA plaintiff, having entered into a contract for the purchase of land, sought damages after the vendor refused to proceed with the final sale despite the plaintiff having fulfilled all prior obligations, including payment of the agreed deposit, and the court ultimately rejected the appeal, reasoning that while the contract was provisionally binding, the absence of a notarized deed, as required by law for the transfer of immovable property, meant the vendor could legitimately refuse to execute the final transfer, limiting the plaintiff's remedy to a refund of the deposit and damages strictly related to the preliminary agreement, not the principal obligation itself.
