Orders
The plaintiff, as purchaser of a commercial strata title unit “off the plan” (by description, prior to construction), was entitled to rescind the contract, and to recover a deposit paid under the contract, when the unit, as constructed, was materially different from the draft strata plan attached to the contract.
The applicant sought to set aside a $10 million consent judgment based on alleged illegality. The tribunal declined the application, finding that the judgment resulted from a settlement agreement, not an illegal agreement. Consequently, the Court dismissed the motion to set aside the judgment.
