Summary
Property vendors applied for a declaration that the purchaser had no right to claim $182,000 held as late completion interest arising from a delayed property sale caused by unresolved right-of-way issues. The court dismissed the application, finding the vendors had taken it upon themselves to resolve the access issue without reserving their position on late completion interest and their failure to obtain access in time constituted a default under the Law Society's Conditions of Sale 2020.
