The appeal is dismissed: unregistered tenancy agreements (and options) are void against a purchaser who registers the sale; the assignment wording 'subject to' does not alter statutory priority; no facts here meet the rare 'Lyus' exception to impose a constructive trust; accordingly interlocutory judgment in favour of the defendant against the third party stands.
