What is the difference between a share certificate and a deed of title?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Hollaus v Moria, 2019 BCSC 104 (CanLII):
The Court held that the parties’ shared ownership of a company cannot be equivalent to the ownership of the property of the company itself. In sum, the only equivalency between a share certificate and a deed of title lies in the documentary evidence of title that the thing describes; that is, the deed of title describes an interest in real property and the parties’ share certificate describes an interest in the company: Sherk v. Smith, 2007 BCSC 1309 at para. 22 [Sherk].
