Holding

The Plaintiff's claim is dismissed but with no order as to costs.

Facts

The Plaintiff claimed specific performance of an Agreement of Sale for 5 acres of land, but the Defendant denied the agreement and claimed the suit was fatally defective. The Plaintiff produced a General Power of Attorney and Agreement of Sale, but the court found the land reference number was unclear and the Power of Attorney was not registered.

Issues

  1. Validity of the Agreement of Sale
  2. Subdivision of the Land

Reasoning

The court found the Agreement of Sale was not valid due to the unregistered General Power of Attorney and the lack of evidence for the land subdivision.

Outcome

Dismissed
