Because the mother's caveat arguably protects a proprietary interest under s 141 Land Transfer Act 1952 and so prevents the defendant from completing a transfer or perfecting a sale, the defendant has an arguable substantial defence to specific performance; accordingly there may have been a miscarriage of justice and the summary judgment ordering specific performance must be set aside under r 12.14.
