Bradley James Hancock v Impresario Enterprise Pty Ltd [2012] NSWSC 1217

Bradley James Hancock v Impresario Enterprise Pty Ltd [2012] NSWSC 1217

The motion was dismissed because Impresario did not prove that the 11 November 2011 settlement terms had been satisfied. Mr Hancock had not been fully appraised of the sale details before the application, the evidence did not establish that the Hornes were bona fide purchasers for value, and the material before the Court was insufficient to enliven Mr Hancock's obligation to withdraw the caveat.
