The Court found the written sale agreement proved; the defendant by conduct (taking possession, pursuing licences, negotiating leases and refurbishments) represented it would not enforce strict contractual conditions and was estopped/waived from denying performance; the supply did not qualify as a going concern so GST was payable under the contract; the plaintiff was therefore entitled to the purchase price plus GST less a rent credit and interest, with costs on a 2B basis.
