Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant purchased rights in municipal property from the 1st respondent and paid the full purchase price. The Norton Town Council refused to effect cession without written consent of the 1st respondent's wife (2nd respondent). The applicant sought court orders compelling either the 2nd respondent to consent or the 3rd respondent to proceed without such consent.
