A property owner sued purchasers for breach of an alleged agreement permitting the return of chattels after the sale of reserve land and buildings.
The court interpreted the written land and chattels agreement and found that ownership of all chattels transferred to the purchasers once the down payment was made.
An alleged later amendment involving waiver of mortgage interest was found unenforceable because the parties lacked consensus ad idem.
The court further found the vendor engaged in a prolonged campaign of harassment, intimidation, and attempts to evict the purchasers after the sale.
General and punitive damages were awarded to the defendants for harassment and mental distress.
