Judgment Date: 20 Oct 2017
Where a sale agreement governing the sale of land for residential development restricted the manner in which the developer could dispose of the completed residential units with a view to protecting the seller's right to overage, the subsequent sale of five properties to a registered social housing provider as affordable housing was not within the definition of "the transfer ... of land ... for ... other social/community purposes". Properly construed, in its context and in accordance with the ejusdem generis rule, a "transfer of land" could not include the transfer of a completed dwelling.
