Aribisala v St James’ Homes (Grosvenor Dock) Ltd

Chancery Division

“The only real scope for the exercise of the court’s discretion, under section 49(2) of the Law of Property Act 1925, to order the return of a deposit, was when the purchaser of a property was unable to perform the contract; whereas, a purchaser would have the right to the return of the deposit when a vendor was unable to perform the contract.”
