Sunshine Coast Developer enforces letter of offer: On 1 August 2008, Justice Chesterman delivered judgment in the Supreme Court case of Moffatt Property Development Group Pty Ltd -v- Hebron Park Pty Ltd. The developer (Moffatt Property Development Group), had made a letter of offer to Hebron Park to purchase a parcel of land in Forest Glen for $3,000,000. The letter of offer contained a statement that if Hebron Park was agreeable, the developer would have their solicitors prepare a formal contract for execution. The director of Hebron Park signed the letter of offer to indicate their agreement, but rejected the letter of offer constituted a binding agreement between the parties when the developer sought specific performance of the agreement. Justice Chesterman disagreed, finding that sufficient finality of terms of the bargain had been reached and the parties intended to be bound, notwithstanding an intention to restate the terms in a more formal contract. The celebrated High Court case of Masters -v- Cameron was applied.
