By the way, the question I've been wrestling with is this:
Walsingham is the registered proprietor of the Fee Simple in Blackacre under Torrens title in Singapore. On his retirement from his lifetime position as trusted advisor to Elizabeth his employer, he receives an honorarium from his grateful employer which enables him to pay off his mortgage on Blackacre to the Bank.
He retrieves his Certificate of Title from the Bank and leaving it with Essex his accountant for safe-keeping embarks on an extended holiday in France.
Essex, pretending to be Walsingham, “sells” Blackacre to Ascham, an honest man. Essex forges Walsingham’s signature on the transfer and Ascham becomes the registered proprietor.
Meanwhile Essex disappears with the proceeds of the sale never to be seen again.
Walsingham returns from his holiday and discovers what has happened. He comes to you for your advice. What do you tell him? Explain the reasons for your advice with reference to relevant authority.Is there no way to give both of them remedy?? Damn all evil men lah :(
My paper is due TOMORROW gahhh.
Eve.
