This case involved a request to register title of a property where it was stated by the purchaser they had paid part of the price and set up a bank mortgage but had discovered the property had been sold to another party. There was a criminal case on fraudulent sale of the property. A key point was the purchaser could not prove they had paid the full amount so the seller did not have to transfer title.
