The vendor was obliged to prove good title before completion by producing originals or certified true copies of title documents that relate exclusively to the property; failure to produce the three missing documents or acceptable certified copies before completion amounted to a repudiatory breach entitling the purchaser to rescind and recover the deposit; the Third Party solicitors were negligent in failing to register and timely deliver the documents and must indemnify the vendor for the loss (the refunded deposit).
