Plaintiffs failed to prove that the 2nd Defendant had actual or apparent authority to bind Priway; consequently Priway was not party to the sale agreements. The Plaintiffs' registration of the agreement and writ was a wrongful interference with Priway's title making them liable for Priway's consequent losses. The 2nd Defendant breached a warranty of authority and is liable to the Plaintiffs for losses flowing and reasonably foreseeable to her (subject to mitigation), measured as the difference between the agreed purchase price and the market value at completion ($1.23m).
