Question

Mike, along with three others, is in the process of establishing a new company named EcoHaven Pty Ltd. The company's goal is to create a large eco-friendly housing development. A spacious piece of land in a rural area is up for sale, and Mike believes that it's an ideal location for their project. To secure the land, he negotiates a price and enters into a land purchase agreement. Mike signs the sale contract "on behalf of EcoHaven Pty Ltd," and a deposit is paid using contributions from each member of the group. Luckily, Mike manages to include a long settlement period in the contract terms. Mike and his three collaborators begin outlining their plans for the construction of their sustainable housing complex on this land. After a while, the company is officially incorporated, although its name has to be changed to GreenLiving Pty Ltd as the originally proposed name (EcoHaven) was already taken. The new board, which includes Mike, decides to have the land prepared for construction by erecting a fence around the land, even though the contract has not been fully finalised ie settlement has not occurred, and the company covers the costs for this fence. However, due to changing market conditions, land values decrease, and the new board believes that the purchase price was too high. When it is time to finalise the contract, the company directors refuse, arguing that the company was never a formal party to the contract to begin with.

Suggest GreenLiving Pty Ltd whether it is liable to finalise the purchase of the land by referring to relevant statutory provisions and case laws.
