It has been held that the legislation does not alter the common law rule that no man can convey a better title than he possesses in so far as any conclusive effect of a certificate is only in favour of a "bona fide" purchaser for valuable consideration. Similarly, a transfer is subject to the equitable doctrine of rectification, and an erroneous entry on title is open to correction.
