- HCMP3349/1989
A statutory declaration made before the solicitor instructed by the declarant to act for him in the transaction is not admissible as evidence for conveyancing purposes; however, the specific discrepancies in passport numbers and signature variations in this case did not raise reasonable doubt as to due execution and the purchasers' objections to title were not well founded.
- Admissibility of statutory declarations
- Execution of deeds and instruments
- Presumption of due execution from custody
- Conflict of interest where declaration made before solicitor acting in transaction
