The vendor proved that Building Licence No.13 (as rectified) covered the property and answered the Building Licence requisition; the purchaser had actual knowledge the original New Grant was lost and, by conduct and correspondence, impliedly waived or was estopped from insisting on production of a certified copy of New Grant No.2250; recitals in title documents older than 15 years (s.13(4)) provided sufficient evidence of the New Grant; accordingly the vendor showed good title and the originating summons was dismissed with costs to the defendant.
