Practice question
A conveyance is validly executed between its parties but has not been registered. The buyer says lack of registration means there can be no contractual rights between those parties. Is that statement correct under Section 51?
- Yes, unregistered deeds can never have any inter partes effect
- No, the section distinguishes the instrument's contractual operation between parties from registration's effect on third persons
- Yes, because registration replaces consent
- No, because every unregistered deed defeats all third parties
- Yes, unless a broker signs it
