Agmon Investments Pty Ltd v Inglis & Ors [2006] NSWSC 932

Agmon Investments Pty Ltd v Inglis & Ors [2006] NSWSC 932

The extension application had to be dismissed because the Plaintiff's pleaded and verified case did not support the interest stated in the caveat; it negated the caveat's assertion that the interest arose from a wholly written agreement signed by the Defendants. The caveat claimed an option under a signed February 1999 agreement, but the evidence did not include a Licence Deed signed by the Defendants and the Plaintiff relied on an oral and written agreement and part performance instead.
