Is a deferred owner vulnerable to a claim from the true owner?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Stanbarr Services et al. v Metropolis Properties et al., 2016 ONSC 1258 (CanLII):
Thus, the party acquiring an interest in land from the party responsible for the fraud (the intermediate owner) is vulnerable to a claim from the true owner: Lawrence v. Maple Trust. A deferred owner is not. The deferred owner “acquires an interest in the property that is good as against all the world”: Lawrence v. Maple Trust, at para. 67.
