The court found the plaintiffs' account of an oral sale not credible on the evidence and contemporaneous conduct; even if an oral agreement had existed it was unenforceable because contracts for disposition of land require written signed evidence under Cap.219 s3; the 1999 transaction was completed with deposit paid by cheques and assignment executed, so defendants hold legal title; accordingly plaintiffs' proprietary claim failed and defendants were entitled to possession and to recover rent arrears, rates, ground rent and mesne profits as quantified by the court.
