In some cases, I encounter situations where promises of sale are made, but contracts fail to come to fruition because the vendor is unable to uphold their commitments. Typically, the vendor would have already received either a ‘deposit on account’ during the promise of sale or a ‘kapparra’ (forfeitable deposit). While the legal implications of these two deposits vary significantly, my focus here is not on that aspect. Instead, I intend to discuss how a buyer, disappointed by a vendor’s failure to deliver, can recover not only the deposit but also seek damages from the defaulting vendor. I stress, however, that the process of seeking damages isn’t as simple as opening a court case; there are specific steps that need to be taken before the expiration of the konvenju term and within the immediate next 30 days. This constitutes the core content of my latest short publication titled “Danni w imghax fuq depozitu meta kuntratt ma jsirx.”
