Where there is a material discrepancy between two signatures purporting to be the same person, the vendor must produce proper conveyancing evidence (for example a statutory declaration by the signatory or other competent witness) to provide 'reasonable proof' of identity; circumstantial evidence alone was insufficient, therefore the purchaser's objections to title were not satisfactorily answered and the purchaser was entitled to rescind the agreement and recover costs.
