The vendor failed to prove good title because the document produced was a certified copy based on a plain photocopy rather than the original Crown Lease and the certifier had not examined the original; the vendor also failed to produce an occupation permit or satisfactory evidence from the Building Authority, and District Lands Office correspondence was insufficient. Consequently forfeiture of the purchasers' deposit was wrongful and the deposit must be repaid with related reliefs.
