The court was asked ‘i) Is a failure to pay a deposit on time under a contract for the sale of land necessarily a repudiatory breach of contract entitling the seller to terminate the contract;
ii) If the answer is no, was time successfully made of the essence of payment in this case with the consequence that, on the facts, the seller was entitled to terminate the contract?’
