bona fide purchaser without notice
Last modified: Thu Feb 23 16:37:37 2006
In full: a `bona fide purchaser of a legal interest for value without notice, actual, constructive
or imputed', also known as `equity's darling'.
A person who pays money or other valuable consideration
for property that has any attached equitable interests
(see: EquitableInterestlandAndProperty),
takes the property free of those interests if he can show that he
had no notice (see: DoctrineOfNotice) of them.
In such a case, the equitable interests are extinguished, and
the owners of those interests will be left to pursue an action
against whoever granted them (often their trustees). However,
some equitable interests in land may be entered on the Land Charges
Register. If they are, then they will bind a purchaser with or
without notice.
