A deposit paid under a contract of sale serves two purposes ;
 if the sale is completed it counts as part payment of the purchase-money, but primarily it is security for the performance of the contract, and it is usual to provide expressly that, in the event of the purchaser failing to observe the conditions of the 
c
ontract, the deposit shall be forfeited to the vendor. Such a provision, however, is not necessary, and, unless the contract taken as a whole shows an intention to exclude forfeiture, the vendor is entitled, by virtue of the purpose of the deposit if the 
contract goes by the default of the purchaser to retain it as forfeited ...\'94}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs27 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs27\cf1\insrsid16260441

Held : Where parties are proposing to enter into a contract the manner in which it is to become binding must be gathered from the intentions of the parties express or implied. In a contract for the sale o

Where it is necessary to ascertain who is to blame for the non-performance of an agreement when the Court is asked to determine whether a deposit paid ought to be returned, it must necessarily do so in a manner most unsatisfactory. When a deposit is paid 
by a purchaser to a vendor the presumption is, that it is paid on behalf of the purchaser, and that he was to obtain the benefit of it on the completion of his purchase : in fact, that it was made in part discharge of the purchase-money. An agreement cert
a
inly might be made that the deposit should be forfeited in case the purchase should not be completed, but this must either be expressed or clearly implied from the contract itself. It had in many cases, from the terms of the contract, and even from its si
lence, been held that a forfeiture must be inferred. There is, however, no authority which holds that the deposit must be considered as forfeited in the absence of any agreement whatever, or one which could neither be enforced at law nor in equity.\'94}{

Then it is said that unless the consequence of the payment of the deposit amounts to a guarantee to complete the purchase the payment of it is perfectly futile. I do
 not agree, because the purchaser by payment of a deposit shows that he means business. The purchaser has not bound himself, but in order to show a definite intention he is willing to part with money, and run the risk of the vendor spending the money and 
being unable to return it if negotiations are broken off. The purchasers contend that this is a deposit paid in anticipation of a final contract and nothing more. That seems to me to be the true view.\'94}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs27 \ltrch\fcs0

It seems to me that the cases show the law to be this :
 ... (2) But when the money is paid as a deposit (which is equivalent to a forfeiture clause), then the buyer who is in default cannot recover the money at law at all. He may, however, have a remedy in equity, for, despite the express stipulation in the c
ontract, equity can relieve the buyer from forfeiture of his money and order the seller to repay it on such terms as the court thinks fit. That is, I think, shown clearly by the decision of the Privy Council in}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0

I think that the statements of the law in the cases to which I will refer indicate a wider 
jurisdiction. I think they indicate that the Court would have power to give relief against the enforcement of forfeiture provisions, although there was no sharp practice by the vendor, and although the purchaser was not able to find the balance. It would,
 of course, have to be shown that the retention of the instalments was unconscionable, in all the circumstances.\'94}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs27 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs27\cf1\insrsid16260441
