The cancellation provisions are found in Paragraphs 14C (1) and (2), and in Paragraph 14E of the CA-RPA. Regardless of the reason, the seller must give some type of notice to the buyer, however (either a Notice to Perform or a Demand to Close Escrow) before the seller can cancel.
It is typically very hard for a seller to cancel escrow without any valid reason for doing so. A change of mind is not acceptable. A good real estate attorney will be able to help the buyer push the sale through with aid from the court if need be.

When the buyer and the seller cannot come to an agreement on the release of funds, an escrow officer may file an interpleader action with the court. An interpleader action is a legal procedure where a neutral third party, such as an escrow officer, deposits the disputed funds with the court.
As such, an escrow holder is entitled to file an action of interpleader and for declaratory relief to ask a court of competent jurisdiction to resolve the controversies and to direct the escrow holder on how to proceed. Properly drawn and executed escrow instructions become an enforceable contract/agreement.
When the buyer and seller are unable to resolve a dispute that prevents the closing of escrow, the escrow officer may file a lawsuit to force the resolution of the dispute. The lawsuit is filed in the appropriate court and a judge will determine the outcome of the dispute.
In essence, an escrow is a type of legal holding account for funds or assets, which won't be released until certain conditions are met. The escrow is held by a neutral third party, which releases it either when those predetermined contractual obligations are fulfilled or an appropriate instruction is received.
