Even if the defendant validly exercised the option and thereby created a binding contract of sale, the defendant's repudiation (11 October 2008) accepted by the plaintiff (22 October 2008) discharged that sale contract and did not extinguish the plaintiff's underlying rights under the original development/assignment agreement; the plaintiff was therefore entitled to specific performance of the original agreement (assignment of the property) and the defendant's appeal was dismissed with costs.
