Holding

The plaintiffs were not entitled to take up the offer to purchase the land within the provided time. The sale to the 1st defendant was not fraudulent.

Facts

The deceased was a tenant of the 2nd defendant on a house without land arrangement. The 2nd defendant agreed to subdivide the land and sell the plots to the occupants. The plaintiffs did not take up the offer to purchase.

Issues

  1. Whether the plaintiffs were entitled to take up the offer to purchase the land
  2. Whether the sale to the 1st defendant was fraudulent

Reasoning

The offer to purchase was made to the occupants of the houses, and it was incumbent upon the plaintiffs to accept the offer. The plaintiffs did not accept the offer, and the 2nd defendant had given notice to sell the land.

Outcome

Dismissed with costs
