Wilkinson, H

'Ready, able and willing' - sort of - 2001 - NLJ Practitioner 151(6979) 13 April 2001, 533-534(2) .

Discusses whether a valid notice to complete can be served before other matters have been finally completed. Considers cases when this matter was discussed including "Lambeth LBC v Vincent and persons unknown". The judge had to consider the four grounds on which the buyer challenged the seller's right to serve a valid notice to complete. Explains the final judgment and the reason why Lambeth LBC had correctly rescinded a contract even though the council had given a reason with an incorrect assumption why it was at an end. Gives details of other cases where notices were valid and effective.
