The court concluded the Option Deed was intended to have legal effect (signed, sealed, and with manuscript amendments by the defendant) and that the defendant breached the obligation to complete the purchase; the absence of documentary proof of notices was relevant but did not negate the binding nature of the deed and the defendant's admitted failure to complete the transaction.
