(2)  Under a contract to sell and assign a term of years derived out of a leasehold estate, the intended assign shall not have the right to call for the title to the leasehold reversion.

(3)  Recitals, statements and descriptions of facts, matters and parties contained in deeds, instruments, Acts or statutory declarations 12 years old at the date of the contract shall, unless and except so far as they are proved to be inaccurate, be taken to be sufficient evidence of the truth of those facts, matters and descriptions.

(4)  A purchaser of land shall not be entitled to require a title to be deduced for a period of more than 15 years or for a period extending further back than a grant or lease by the Crown or the State, whichever period is the shorter.

(5)  A purchaser of any property shall not be entitled to require the production, or any abstract or copy, of any deed, will, or other document, dated or made before the time prescribed by law, or expressly stipulated, for commencement of the title, even though the same creates a power subsequently exercised by an instrument abstracted in the abstract furnished to the purchaser; nor shall he require any information, or make any requisition, objection or inquiry, with respect to any such deed, will or document, or the title prior to that time, notwithstanding that any such deed, will or other document, or that prior title, is recited, covenanted to be produced, or noticed; and he shall assume, unless the contrary appears, that the recitals contained in the abstracted instruments of any deed, will or other document, forming part of that prior title, are correct, and give all the material contents of the deed, will or other documents so recited, and that every document so recited was duly executed by all necessary parties and perfected, if and as required, by acknowledgment, enrolment or otherwise.

(6)  Where land sold is held by lease (not including under-lease), the purchaser shall assume, unless the contrary appears, that the lease was duly granted; and, on production of the receipt for the last payment due for rent under the lease before the date of actual completion of the purchase, he shall assume, unless the contrary appears, that all the covenants and provisions of the lease have been duly performed and observed up to the date of the actual completion of the purchase.

(7)  Where land sold is held by under-lease, the purchaser shall assume, unless the contrary appears, that the under-lease and every superior lease were duly granted; and, on production of the receipt for the last payment due for rent under the under-lease before the date of actual completion of the purchase, he shall assume, unless the contrary appears, that all the covenants and provisions of the under-lease have been duly performed and observed up to the date of actual completion of the purchase, and further that all rent due under every superior lease, and all the covenants and provisions of every superior lease, have been paid and duly performed and observed up to that date.

(8)  On a sale of any property, the expenses of the production and inspection of all records, proceedings of courts, deeds, wills, probates, letters of administration and other documents, not in the vendor’s possession, and the expenses of all journeys incidental to the production and inspection, and the expenses of searching for, procuring, making, verifying and producing all certificates, declarations, evidences and information not in the vendor’s possession, and all attested, stamped, office or other copies or abstracts of, or extracts from, any such documents as aforesaid, not in the vendor’s possession, if any such production, inspection, journey, search, procuring, making or verifying is required by a purchaser, either for verification of the abstract, or for any other purpose, shall be borne by the purchaser who requires them; and where the vendor retains possession of any document, the expenses of making any copy thereof, attested or unattested, which a purchaser requires to be delivered to him, shall be borne by that purchaser.

(9)  On a sale of any property in lots, a purchaser of two or more lots, held wholly or partly under the same title, shall not have a right to more than one abstract of the common title, except at his own expense.

(10)  The inability of a vendor of any property to furnish the purchaser with a legal covenant to produce and furnish documents of title shall not be an objection to title in case the purchaser will, on the completion of the contract, have an equitable right to the production of those documents.

(11)  Such covenants for production as the purchaser on any sale of property can and shall require shall be furnished at his expense, and the vendor shall bear the expense of perusal and execution on behalf of and by himself and on behalf of and by necessary parties other than the purchaser.

(14)  This section shall apply only to titles and purchasers on sales properly so called, notwithstanding any interpretation in this Act.

(15)  This section shall apply only if and so far as a contrary intention is not expressed in the contract of sale, and shall have effect subject to the terms of the contract, and to the provisions therein contained.

(16)  Nothing in this section shall be construed as binding a purchaser to complete his purchase in any case where, on a contract made independently of this section, and containing stipulations similar to this section, or any of them, specific performance of the contract would not be enforced against him by the court.

(2)  The court shall make such order upon the application as seems just, and shall order how and by whom all or any of the costs of and incident to the application shall be borne and paid.

(2)  In either case there shall also be paid into court such additional amount as the court considers will be sufficient to meet the contingency of further costs, expenses and interest, and any other contingency, except depreciation of investments, not exceeding one-tenth part of the original amount to be paid in, unless the court for special reason thinks fit to require a larger additional amount.

(3)  Thereupon, the court may, if it thinks fit, and either after or without any notice to the incumbrancer, as the court thinks fit, declare that land to be freed from the incumbrance, and make any order for conveyance, or vesting order, proper for giving effect to the sale, and give directions for the retention and investment of the money in court.

(4)  After notice served on the persons interested in or entitled to the money or fund in court, the court may direct payment or transfer thereof to the persons entitled to receive or give a discharge for the same, and generally may give directions respecting the application or distribution of the capital or income thereof.
