Vendor's Right of First Refusal Void After Rescinded Sale Contract
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA vendor, having contracted to sell a property, subsequently signed a separate agreement granting a right of first refusal to a third party, which the property owner then exercised after the initial sale agreement was rescinded by mutual consent and the vendor retained a deposit. The court held that the subsequent agreement granting the right of first refusal was null and void because it concerned a property that was no longer subject to the initial contract of sale, which had been effectively cancelled, and thus the vendor was not obligated to honor the right of first refusal when later selling the property to another party.
