There was no triable issue: the third defendant as beneficiary was competent to contract to sell his future interest; the parties had formed a binding agreement through signed offer and confirmed final draft SPA; defendants were estopped and could not rely on the vendor's incomplete title or take advantage of their own wrong; summary judgment for specific performance was therefore granted under Order 81 Rules of Court 2012 with costs.

Summary judgment was refused and the application dismissed because the Defendants established serious triable issues: credible allegations of fraud, conspiracy and backdating; material disputes over execution sequence, POA, sale/lease transactions and absence of Ministerial approval under the Land Development Act raising potential illegality; and limitation/PAPA issues. The matters require full trial and viva voce evidence before any order for specific performance can be made.

Plaintiff established a prima facie entitlement to specific performance and vacant possession by proving full payment and producing corroborating affidavit evidence; defendant offered only bare denials and failed to show a genuine triable issue, therefore summary judgment under Order 81 was appropriate; court ordered delivery of vacant possession within five days, awarded special damages equivalent to mortgage instalments paid to date and costs, and applied interest at 5% p.a. on the judgment debt.

Plaintiff was entitled to summary judgment under Order 81 because plaintiff paid the full purchase price and title had been transferred, the sale agreement required the vendor to deliver vacant possession, and defendant failed to raise any evidentiary triable issue; consequently specific performance was ordered (delivery of vacant possession within five days) and plaintiff awarded special damages equivalent to mortgage instalments paid up to 31.8.2019 and interest at 5% p.a. from judgment until settlement.
