this simple procedure adopted for all releases and
reconveyances of mortgages, but to no avail. A full Deed
of Release or Reconveyance must be entered into in the
case of all mortgages with any person or institution other
than a Building Society. This includes Local Authorities,
Insurance Companies, Banks, etc. The Joint Committee
has been asked to consider the problem which arises most
frequently in connection with such releases, which arises
where the Deed of Release of Mortgage is dated
subsequent to the Deed of Assignment of the property to
the purchaser. Some Solicitors felt that a Deed of
Rectification was essential in such circumstances, in order
to set in an outstanding legal estate, and insisted upon this
being done.
This view is clearly held by a substantial majority of
conveyancing practitioners and leading conveyancing
counsel that the doctrine of Feeding the Estoppel applies
to such circumstances and that no Deed of Rectification is
necessary. The Joint Committee considered the point and
is unanimously of the opinion that no Deed of
Rectification is required and that the doctrine of Feeding
the Estoppel operates effectively to vest the entire legal
interest in the purchaser as soon as the Deed of Release is
completed (subject, of course, to whatever necessity there
may be for Land Act consent). •
