On strict construction of the Power of Attorney Clauses relied upon (Clauses 2 and 8), there were no clear or unambiguous words authorising the Donee to make a present to or otherwise benefit himself (directly or indirectly through a company he controlled); the Assignment executed by the Donee lacked authority and thus did not pass any interest of the Donor. Consequently the vendor failed to show good title and the purchasers were entitled to rescind, repayment of deposit with interest and costs.
