Read the full decision in Margaret Morris and Brenda Redpath v Godiva Mortgages Ltd and Bernice Smith: [2017] UKUT 0044 (TCC).

This is an appeal from the decision of Judge Simon Brilliant in the Land Registration Division of the First-tier Tribunal, dated 11 January 2016. He directed the registrar to cancel the Appellants’ applications to alter the register, because he came to the conclusion that they signed the transfer to the Second Respondent and knew what they were doing. I can find no fault with his decision, for the reasons that I am going to explain, and accordingly this appeal has to be refused.
