Plaintiff was not entitled to specific performance because it failed to perform the fundamental contractual obligation of paying the balance purchase price by the completion dates computed under section 8 of the First Schedule (time running from distribution orders or agreement date); consequently the cause of action accrued on those completion dates and the claim (filed 24.2.2017) is barred by Limitation Act 1953 s6(1); plaintiff's delay also attracts laches; 5th agreement superseded the 4th; deposit was paid by plaintiff but retained improperly by vendors' solicitors and must be returned to vendors.

Procedural Posture

Civil / Judgment After Full Trial (specific Performance Claim)

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether plaintiff entitled to specific performance
  2. 2 Whether agreements 4 and 5 void for uncertainty
  3. 3 Whether plaintiff paid deposit as required

Ratio Decidendi

Plaintiff was not entitled to specific performance because it failed to perform the fundamental contractual obligation of paying the balance purchase price by the completion dates computed under section 8 of the First Schedule (time running from distribution orders or agreement date); consequently the cause of action accrued on those completion dates and the claim (filed 24.2.2017) is barred by Limitation Act 1953 s6(1); plaintiff's delay also attracts laches; 5th agreement superseded the 4th; deposit was paid by plaintiff but retained improperly by vendors' solicitors and must be returned to vendors.

Court Disposition

Plaintiff's claim dismissed with costs

Orders

  • Plaintiff's claim dismissed with costs
  • Deposit and accrued interest held by Rajendran & Co to be returned to the vendors and dealt with according to the agreements
