A driveway used for decades, a purchaser unable to secure financing and keys left at a nearby store all became subjects of real estate litigation. Michael J. Lamb, J.D., Counsel at Cohen Highley LLP and Adjunct Professor of Real Estate Law at Western University, examines seven Ontario decisions involving easements, failed closings and deposits. 

The cases address whether a seller can convey good title after a change in ownership, when a demand for a price reduction may amount to repudiation, and what evidence supports a seller’s efforts to resell after a breach. The presentation also considers key delivery at closing and the consequences of failing to provide a condominium purchaser with the required guide.
