	Torrens title - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Torrens title is a system of land title where a register of land holdings maintained by the state guarantees indefeasible title to those included in the register.
		Torrens himself acknowledged adapting his proposals from earlier systems of transfer and registration, particularly the system of registration of merchant ships in the United Kingdom.
		The Torrens system was also a marked departure from the common law of real property and its further development has been characterised by the reluctance of common law judges to accept it.

	Robert Torrens (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Torrens led the Anti-Bullionists during the Bullionist Debate of the 1810s but later did a virtual 180° turn to join the side of the Currency School in the Banking-Currency School Debate of the 1840s.
		Torrens was an independent discoverer of the Ricardo's principle of "comparative advantage" in international trade (albeit a promoter of "reciprocal tariffs", rather than unilateral free trade).
		Torrens was also a co-discoverer of the Ricardian theory of "differential rent", although, in later editions, recanted the Malthusian population doctrine on which it was partly based.

	Torrens Title
		Torrens Title is a simplified system of transferring title to land which was introduced by Robert Torrens in South Australia in 1858.
		By 1937 approximately 20 percent of the 1,300,000 parcels of land in Cook County were held in the Torrens system.
		The use of the Torrens system began to decline during the 1930s; by then, 60 years of public records were available to private insurance companies, who competed vigorously with the Torrens system.

		Torrens and North Adelaide then fought out a low scoring draw in the final only for the blue and golds to succumb by 5 points in the replay; they thus finished 3rd.
		Sturt are probably Torrens' superiors in the air, but the Blue and Golds I think put a little more snap and vim into their ground play than the Unley men do.
		Torrens half back Frank Graham read the play, however, and ran in to intercept before launching a swift counter attack which culminated in Ray Hank kicking what proved to be the decisive goal.

	Is The Torrens System Suitable For The 21st Century?
		Sir Robert Richard Torrens, the father of the Torrens system, is aiming for these five qualities in a revolutionary land registration and transfer system (Ruoff, 1957).
		While Torrens would be unlikely to change the principles and objectives of his own land registration system, he would recognise the need to modify it as society changes.
		The Torrens system was introduced at a time when reform was necessary, it met the needs of the people and has been hailed as one of the leading land registration systems in the world.

	Torrens' Last Flag
		In the eight seasons between 1945 and 1952 the blue and golds finished 1st, 5th, 5th, 2nd, 2nd, 4th, 4th, and 4th, and managed an overall success rate of 60.8%, which was bettered only by Norwood.
		Torrens finished the term strongly, and by the half time break had captured the lead by the narrowest of margins.
		Torrens' edge in pace then came to the fore and a goal to Lindsay Head followed by a near miss from Don Prior reduced the margin to a solitary point.

	Torrens Title
		"Torrens Title" is named after its inventor, Sir Robert Richard Torrens who was instrumental in the implementation of this unique and efficient system of dealing with land in 1858.
		Torrens drew on his background and experience in merchant shipping law to devise a revolutionary system of land ownership, based on the methods of registering ownership of, and dealings with, ships under long-established merchant shipping law.
		Once your name is registered or recorded on the title register under Torrens title you become the owner of the property to the exclusion of all others, by the very fact of registration.

	Collected Works of Robert Torrens - Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Reprinting the early editions of this important work by Torrens was a wise decision on the part of the editor, given the fact that these collected works could not accommodate a variorum edition and that the definitive edition (the last published during Torrens' life time) is the one reprinted in 1972 by Augustus Kelley.
		Its reproduction, in Torrens' view, was justifiable because the 1842 crisis which inspired it, reproduced all the causes of the 1830 crisis.
		Torrens, like many of his contemporary economic writers, felt no need for this when what was being published was an `ephemeral' tract on the issues of the moment.

		Because these 269 individuals were named in his Torrens application, logic should have dictated that Taylor also name all landowners in Costilla County, considering that both groups claimed their respective interests in the Taylor Ranch solely as landowners of Costilla County.
		During the course of the Torrens proceedings, he named and served 142 additional defendants at the instigation of the court, based upon testimony of the court-appointed title examiner, who opined that the compilation of named defendants were the only individuals who had a possible interest in the property as landowners of Costilla County.
		Specifically, the claimants contended that they were readily ascertainable parties due personal notice of the Torrens proceedings, because their interests were recorded in the Costilla County records, were referenced in both Taylor's deed and the Gilpin agreement, were mentioned in the title examiner's report, and were referred to in Taylor's own application.

		Arguably this omission to take account of unregistered interests (though conversely, one suspects that Torrens would not have regarded it as an omission, given that he considered that unregistered interests were only to operate between the parties) has led to the obscuring of some of the important and critical policy objectives of the system.
		[18] In a contemporary environment, where the importance and significance of equity jurisprudence is not to be underestimated, the Torrens system has had to adapt to the complexity of interests that attach to modern land holdings and to provide some form of mechanism for their recognition and protection.
		However, in respect of land to which the [Torrens legislation] applies, registration of a transfer is not fraudulent in the statutory sense required to qualify the operation of the doctrine of indefeasibility, merely because the transferee knows that registration will defeat an antecedent unregistered interest of which the transferee has notice.

		Many species of native fish have not been seen in the Torrens since weirs and other man-made barriers were built early last century, because these barriers are too high and water flows over them too strongly for the fish to get past and migrate upstream.
