### sec.97I Variation of disclosure statement by further statement
This section applies if the contract for the sale of a leasehold building units lot or a proposed lot has not been settled and—
the seller becomes aware that information contained in the disclosure statement was inaccurate as at the day the contract was entered into; or
the disclosure statement would not be accurate if now given as a disclosure statement.
The seller must, at least 21 days before the contract is settled, give the buyer a further statement (the further statement ) rectifying the inaccuracies in the disclosure statement.
The further statement must—
be signed by the seller; and
to the extent, if any, the further statement rectifies inaccuracies in the relevant lot particulars mentioned in section 97G for a proposed leasehold building units lot—be certified as accurate by a cadastral surveyor.
The buyer may terminate the contract if—
it has not already been settled; and
the buyer would be materially prejudiced, if compelled to complete the contract, given the extent to which the disclosure statement was, or has become, inaccurate; and
the termination is effected by written notice given to the seller within 21 days, or a longer period agreed between the buyer and seller, after the seller gives the buyer the further statement.
Subsections (1) to (4) continue to apply after the further statement is given on the basis that the disclosure statement is taken to be constituted by the disclosure statement and any further statement.
If the seller fails to comply with this section, the buyer may terminate the contract by written notice given to the seller if—
the contract has not already been settled; and
the buyer would be materially prejudiced, if compelled to complete the contract, given the extent to which the disclosure statement was, or has become, inaccurate.
