Mortgage fraud and a chargee's power of sale

23.06.08 Share

 

The recent case of Barclays Bank plc v Guy is an important Court of Appeal decision regarding a claim for rectification following a fraudulent transfer and mortgage that includes important commentary on the provisions of the Land Registration Act 2002.

  1. Can the victim of a fraud apply to the Land Registry to have a fraudulent transfer expunged from the registered title?
  2. Who can apply to the Land Registry for compensation for the registration of the fraudulent transfer?
  3. Can a chargee still exercise its power of sale if it has secured its charge against a property that has been previously fraudulently transferred?
