As such requests were as a rule not fulfilled, in some (but by far not all) cases the public pressure has forced the governments to act upon the initial contract and claim back the property, paying the buyer who had failed to carry out his or her part of the agreement partial (or rarely full) restitution for his or her payment according to the first contract.
Due to a lack of compliance with standard requests, in specific situations, government pressure led to the fulfillment of the original agreement, enabling the recovery of the property and providing partial (or rare) compensation to the buyer who had failed to meet their obligations based on their initial payment.
