What is the meaning of an agreement for sale of land?
Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from Osman and Tarr v. Callander and Callander, 1986 CanLII 3015 (SK QB):
The fundamental of an agreement for sale of land ought not to be undermined by artificial concepts. A sale of land implies an exchange for money (see Wills, J., Coats v. Inland Revenue Commissioners, [1897] 2 Q.B. 423, and Simpson v. Connolly, [1953] 1 W.L.R. 911).
