DCC 167/2012

This case involved a request to rescind a property sales agreement because no development had been done, although it had not yet reached the expected delivery date. The key issues in this case were whether it was possible to claim incapacity of a litigant at the court of cassation stage and if it was possible for a judgment to stand if it had an error in it which had been corrected.
