Want of livery of seisin
236 Want of livery of seisin
(1) Livery of seisin shall not be deemed to have been necessary to give effect
to any feoffment executed before 3 January 1842, but every such feoffment
shall be taken to have operated in the same manner as the same would have done
in case there had been livery of seisin in the most valid form.
(2) However,
nothing in subsection (1) shall make any such feoffment operate as a tortious
conveyance or shall prejudice or affect the title of any person now in
possession of land the subject of any such feoffment and claimed adversely to
the feoffee or the feoffee’s heirs or assigns.
