Court allowed the appeal, held Adorna Properties was not a binding precedent insofar as it was decided per incuriam and misread s.340; where the issue document itself is forged the purchaser who takes title directly from the forger does not obtain indefeasible title; the 1st defendant failed to prove he was a bona fide purchaser in good faith and for valuable consideration because of his haste and lack of proper inquiry; consequential orders follow to restore title and cancel the transfer endorsement.
