Purchaser termination claim after exchange
Illustration of a termination notice interrupting an exchanged contract before a proposed resale

Situation

The client’s situation

A vendor received a purchaser notice purporting to terminate after exchange based on an alleged contractual defect. The vendor wanted to reject the notice immediately and remarket.

How Aquarius Lawyers helped

The legal response

We checked the exact contractual right relied on, whether the notice was valid and whether any cure or response period applied. We advised the vendor not to create a second-sale problem until the first contract’s status was clear.

Documented outcome

The documented outcome

The parties resolved the termination issue on a documented basis, allowing the vendor to move forward without exposing itself to competing contractual claims.
