Dear Editor,
Admitting it could not sell what it did not own but doing exactly that, now it wants out, but it ain’t so easy. First the company made a down payment, but subsequently distanced itself when certain revelations, of other owners, came to light in the land sale saga. Now efforts by the seller to walk away and turn its back on this sordid matter has suddenly taken a twist, with refusal by the company to accept refund of down payment and transferal of interest to another company by the original buyer. A third player has joined the foray and has sought the court to determine and protect its interests. Sounds like a plot out of a John Grisham novel. The entire plot surrounds the basis of the seller’s intention and why the original buyer created the impression it had no further interest in pursuing the acquisition of the land, after declaring it had distanced itself? Is there more than what presents itself?
Sincerely,
Shamshun Mohamed
