In what circumstances will a renunciation become final?
Alberta, Canada
The following excerpt is from Osmack v. Reynolds, 1973 ALTASCAD 55 (CanLII):
In Universal Cargo Carriers Corporation v. Citati [1957] 2 All E.R. 70 at page 85, Devlin J. said: “Hockster v. De la Tour (1853), 2 E. & B. 678; 22 L.J.Q.B. 455, established that a renunciation, when acted on, became final. Thus if a man proclaimed by words or conduct an inability to perform, the other party could safely act on it without having to prove that when the time for performance came the inability was still effective.”
