    Buyer wants to cancel contract..can they?

    My reading of this situation is that the contract was conditional, but the condition having been previously satisfied when they got an approval, is now unconditional. The condition isn't re-enlivened if his finance falls through after the condition has been satisfied. That seems like a very...

    Buyer wants to cancel contract..can they?

    Unless the statutes have been modified in the 12 months since my contracts textbook was published, contracts for sale (and leases, and guarantees) must be evidenced in writing, but statute is silent as to how they may be varied and terminated. As such, it is determined by the common law...

    Buyer wants to cancel contract..can they?

    Neither of those scenarios would be enough to give rise to an estoppel. This situation probably lacks the element of inducement that gives rise to unconscionability, e.g. it'd be different if the vendor induced the buyer to believe they'd be released from the subject contract, in order for the...

    Insurance.

    No, you can't rescind on the basis of an insurable event. If the owner damages the property in a non-insurable manner - e.g. removes fixtures, puts holes in the wall - then you could raise these at pre-settlement inspection. But if the property is damaged due to an insurable event, you are...

    What have the Somersoft Forums meant to you?

    I've made a lot of friends, and gained some great professional contacts. One forumite went way beyond the call of duty a few years ago, when I was in a short-term difficult spot, and when I was talking to her about it via PM, she offered to lend me several $000. I can't recall if we'd never...
