20ZE Effect of fraud

(1) A person’s entitlement under this Division to make an assumption is not affected merely by the fact that any person—

(a) has acted or is acting fraudulently in relation to the dealing or acquisition or purported acquisition of title to property to which the assumption relates, or

(b) has forged a document that appears to have been sealed on behalf of a statutory SOC.

(2) However, the person is not entitled to make the assumption if the person has actual knowledge of that fraudulent action or forgery.
