The applicant purchased several commercial condominium units in 1987, but due to a lawyer's inadvertence, one unit was omitted from the 1994 registered transfer.
The applicant occupied the unit for 17 years unaware of the error.
In 2008, the original developer sold its remaining units to the respondent in a bulk sale, and the omitted unit was inadvertently transferred to the respondent.
The applicant sought rectification of the land titles register.
The court found that the respondent was not a bona fide purchaser for value without notice of the specific unit, as there was no meeting of the minds, no agreement, and no consideration for its transfer.
The court ordered the register rectified to reflect the applicant as the owner.
