https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=198074 A purchaser who knowingly enters a sale despite the vendor's defective title cannot sustain a claim for damages or refund, because the basis for breach of covenant is absent when the defect was accepted at the outset. Where the vendor had no title from inception and the purchaser was never put in possession, the breach is treated as occurring on the date of sale itself. Limitation for a refund claim therefore runs from that date, and a suit filed more than three years later is time-barred. On these facts, the decree against the vendor could not be sustained. en-us Thu, 26 Feb 1981 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 22 Jan 2018 15:03:41 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=198074 A purchaser who knowingly enters a sale despite the vendor's defective title cannot sustain a claim for damages or refund, because the basis for breach of covenant is absent when the defect was accepted at the outset.
