Witnessing the execution of a deed by video link is not permitted under the current law.
The applicant (Y) and the respondent (W) had been joint registered proprietors of a property and W had become the sole registered proprietor as a result of a transfer by Y and W to W.
Y was alleged to have signed the transfer deed during a meeting with W in Hong Kong. The witness (G) was W’s London-based solicitor, who witnessed the execution via a Skype video link. The transfer deed was then sent to G who added her signature as attesting witness on its arrival a few days later (and then dated the document).
Several years later, Y claimed that the transfer to W was invalid and registered a unilateral notice on W’s title claiming a right to have the title register altered to correct a mistake. W applied to have the notice cancelled.
