DERAILED DEVELOPMENT PLANS, VOETSTOOTS AND A SELLER’S SILENCE<\/h2>\n

Ismail NO and Another v Erf 87 Dullstroom CC (A357\/2015) [2015] ZAGPPHC 835
\n(11 December 2015)<\/h3>\n

In this matter the purchaser’s plans to develop a tract of land had to be revisited after it learned of the existence of an unregistered road reserve on the property. A claim for a reduction in the contract price followed and the court, finding that it constituted a material defect, had to weigh up the implications of the fact that the seller knew of the purchaser\u2019s envisaged plans and the defect.<\/p>\n

Pieterse v Pieterse and Others (93393\/2015) [2015] ZAGPPHC 815 (2 December 2015)<\/h3>\n
