PART 5
DISPOSITIONS

Division 1
General

37.   Subsequent dealings

  1.  

    (1)   No land, lease or hypothec registered under this Act shall be capable of being disposed of except in accordance with this Act, and every attempt to dispose of such land, lease or hypothec otherwise than in accordance with this Act shall be ineffectual to create, extinguish, transfer, vary or affect any right or interest in the land, lease or hypothec.

  1.  

    (2)   This section shall not be construed as preventing any unregistered instrument from operating as a contract, but no action may be brought upon any contract for the disposition of any interest in land unless the agreement upon which such action is brought, or some memorandum or note thereof, is in writing, and is signed by the party to be charged or by some other person thereunto by him or her lawfully authorised.

However, such an action shall not be prevented by reason only of the absence of writing, where an intending purchaser or lessee who has performed or is willing to perform his or her part of a contract—

  1.  

    (i)     has in part performance of the contract taken possession of the property or any part thereof, or

  1.  

    (ii)     being already in possession, continues in possession in part performance of the contract and has done some other act which is exclusively referable to and in furtherance of the contract.
