The defendant's pre-completion advice was not incorrect in context: no executed sub-DMC was produced before the completion deadline so the vendor had failed to show a good title and the purchaser was not bound to complete; on the negligence standard the defendant's judgment fell within the range of reasonable professional responses and the plaintiff failed to prove negligence or causation. Claim dismissed.
