It is necessary to peruse terms of MOU entered into between the parties to advice 

 

2) if you seek to terminate MOU developer can file suit seek injunction restraining you from giving contract for development of property to third party 

 

3) claim damages from you

1.  MOU is NOT any type of binding agreement.  Further only a Registered Agreement is legally enforceable.

2.  Serve a proper Notice to the Developer & revoke the MOU, citing health issues etc....

Hello, 

Is there any clause in the MoU for revocation or any clause in the MoU for resolution of the dispute.

Send a notice of revocation to the builder and make a publication in the newspaper to this effect if there is no revocation clause in the MoU. 

Since there was no consideration, it will not be treated as a valid contract.

See MOU can be revoked as per the revocation and termination of the MOU terms mentioned in MOU otherwise the other side can file suit for specific performance of such MOU based on agreed conditions.

Hi, 

In the present circumstances, you are suggested to inform your decision in writing of change of your mind and cancellation of that MOU.

Dear client 

You can just sign a cancellation deed with the developer by saying that you don't have enough money to pay to the developer due to some financial crisis in your family. And can cancel the MOU as there is no transaction between you regarding the deal.

It would be better for you to take proper legal guidelines by showing complete files of your case to an advocate so that you can take a right path to handle your issues.

1. Well, the agreement even if a concluded contract can be cancelled or breached by one f parties at any given point of time.

2. However once it is done the party is made to suffer consequences which is mentioned in the agreement or the law of contract.

3. So n your case after making good the loss suffered by the developer on account of cancelling the MOU , you can revoke or cancel the same.

4. However if the developer is not agreeable to the cancellation even if he is compensated , he can file a suit for specific performance of contract in the civil court.

You can revoke the same and intimate the same to him.  But he may challenge the same in court.  Revoking unilaterally can only be done through court by fiking a suit for cancellation of mou
