Right of First Refusal Notification Requirements in Real Estate Sales
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA lower court incorrectly ruled that a contract for the sale of real estate, where a buyer was granted a right of first refusal, was invalid because the seller failed to notify the holder of this right of the definitive sale price, even though the holder had previously expressed interest in purchasing at the price mentioned in the initial promise of sale; the high court overturned this decision, reasoning that the obligation to notify the holder of the right of first refusal upon an offer from a third party only requires communicating the exact terms of the final offer, and the holder's prior acknowledgment of a price, without a subsequent, formal offer being presented, did not obligate the seller to notify them of the final agreed-upon sale price.
