CASE LAW

Application

Where a vendor refused to complete upon tender of final payment and a registrable instrument, the purchasers applied under s. 3 for registration of the agreement for sale. The court held that the section was inapplicable in the circumstances but indicated that the purchasers could institute proceedings to compel delivery of an executed deed and seek summary judgment (Stryer v. Corlett, [1977] B.C.D. Civ. (6 July 1977) (S.C.)).
