Record 2 2012-10-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • PAJLO
  • Property Law (common law)
CONT

The Statute "Quia Emptores" forbade alienation by subinfeudation and removed all restraints on alienation by substitution of an estate in fee simple that had previously existed. The statute is in force in all the common law jurisdictions of Canada.... the statute has been described as a pillar of real property law, for it still operates, whenever a person sells his land, to put the purchaser in the vendor's place.(Anger & Honsberger, 2nd ed., 1985, p. 114)

OBS

The alternative to subinfeudation was substitution. B might grant to C not by creating a new tenure but by letting C step into his shoes so that C became, and B ceased to be, tenant of A. (Megarry & Wade, 4th ed., 1975, p. 30
