The undertaking required that the vendor's solicitor deliver documents capable of passing title, but it was not an absolute undertaking to guarantee against fraud by an impostor; the proper standard is whether the solicitor took reasonable care to identify the vendor and ensure the documents were properly executed. Because that is a question of fact, summary judgment was inappropriate.
