66N Refusal to enforce specific performance against vendor

The Court may, if it thinks that it would be unjust or inequitable to require the vendor to complete the sale of land that is substantially damaged after the making of the contract for the sale of the land and before the risk in respect of the damage passes to the purchaser--

(a) refuse to enforce against the vendor specific performance of the contract,

(b) order the repayment of any money paid by the purchaser under the contract, and

(c) make such other orders as the Court considers appropriate in the circumstances.
