The defendant solicitors had acted on the purchase of all plots on an estate of land. Rights of way had been reserved over the access roads, but on the insolvency of the development and the roads not being completed the Society asserted that insufficient rights had been reserved to complete the roadway.

The standard of the eventual road had been referred to and accordingly they had the rights to construct it to that standard.
