Where a vendor's statement is not given or certified as required by this Part, or the statement given is defective, the purchaser may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for an order under this section.

avoid the contract and make such other orders as the Court thinks necessary or desirable to restore the parties to the contract to their respective positions before entering into the contract;

award such damages as may, in the opinion of the Court, be necessary to compensate loss arising from the non-compliance;

make such other orders as may be just in the circumstances.

Damages may be awarded under subsection (2)(b) against—

the vendor;

if it appears that the purchaser has been prejudiced by a failure on the part of an agent to carry out duties imposed by this Part—the agent, or both.
