Summary

An applicant sought to prove title to land his father had revived before the cut-off; the municipality and finance objected, arguing the revival was recent. Title was proven by two upright witnesses and the experts' report, the objection was set aside, and the Court of Appeal upheld the judgment.

Principle

Revival before the cut-off date can be proven by credible testimony and expert evidence; a bare objection does not defeat it.
