The High Court rules that Dublin City Council (DCC) is no longer obliged to transfer legal title of a Georgian property to the plaintiff due to his repudiatory breach of the Settlement Agreement. The plaintiff's decision not to accept the transfer of the property, citing its deteriorated condition and seeking unspecified "changes," constituted a failure to comply with the final term of the agreement. Consequently, DCC is entitled to retain legal title. However, the court directed DCC to return the €75,000 payment made by the plaintiff under the Settlement Agreement, acknowledging the plaintiff's significant investment in the property's repairs.
