1. I have before me a vendor and purchaser summons for the sale of landed property. In terms of that summons the Plaintiff ('the Purchaser') seeks a declaration that, because of a repudiatory breach of the agreement of sale by the Defendant ('the Vendor'), it was entitled to rescind the contract and seek damages. The summons is opposed; the vendor wishing to proceed to completion. As the date specified for completion is set for a few days ahead, both parties have sought an urgent judgment.
