The court held that under the agreement and s.13 CPO the vendor validly discharged its obligation to prove title by producing Land Registry certified copies and a statutory declaration of loss; the certified copies complied with Land Registry practice and were sufficient; the power of attorney either authorized the gift on a bona fide construction or, if ultra vires, the disposition was voidable and had been effectively affirmed by the donor; s.13(4A) would in any event conclusively presume validity; accordingly plaintiffs' requisitions were adequately answered and their claims were dismissed.
