The Court upheld the High Court: the change of name and subsequent transfer were effected by forged instruments and were void; the Registrar breached statutory duties and failed to follow NLC procedures (including 14th Schedule s.8) and therefore was negligent and not entitled to s.22 protection; the 1st and 2nd defendants were immediate purchasers with defeasible title under s.340(2) NLC; limitation did not bar the suit as the injury was continuing; claims for indemnity by the 1st and 2nd defendants failed for lack of proof of actual loss.
