Respondent
Petitioner
Facts: Gooder Holdings sought to confirm it had paid in full for a property under a purchase agreement, seeking conveyance of the title against the executor of the estate holding the title. The dispute centered on whether all payments were made under the agreement for a four-unit apartment building.
Issue: The core legal issue was whether Gooder Holdings had fulfilled its payment obligations under the purchase agreement, entitling it to ownership of the property, despite the executor's refusal to transfer the title.
Court's Ruling: The court found in favor of Gooder Holdings, determining that the evidence, including historical bank records and affidavits, sufficiently demonstrated that all payments were made. The court ordered the vesting of the property title in Gooder Holdings.
Costs/Damages Awarded: The court decided not to order the unsuccessful party (the executor) to pay the full costs of the successful party (Gooder Holdings) due to the long delay by Gooder in seeking the transfer. However, Gooder Holdings was awarded nominal costs of $500 for the costs incurred due to a last-minute hearing adjournment.
