The claimant sought specific performance of a contract for the sale of land. The purchase was under an option agreement. The option was exercisable on the grant of planning permission within a certain period, extensible in the case of an appeal.
Held: The contract did not impose much by way of obligation on the buyer and was one sided. There was no reasonable prospect of the defendant succeeding, and summary judgment was granted.
