No Half-Baked Agreement’s Wonted
“In future the committee will want to know that parties have no matters in dispute before cases are heard,” said the chairman of the Land Sales Committee (Mr E. H. Burton), when the committee sat in Whangarei today. He was referring to the long delay in a case, caused by the disagreement between valuers about the value of stock, which had been sold by the vendor.
“We are concerned only with a concluded agreement,” Mr Burton continued. “Our duty is to find the value of the land, stock, plant and so on, and to decide that question only. We can’t deal with these matters if, to be quite frank, they are half-baked.”
