Could there be much doubt that the bank was a BFPV in these circumstances, or am I missing something?

Subject: [RDG] RDG: Bona Fide purchaser and tracing

Dear Colleagues;
Apologies if others have noted this already and I missed it, but it strikes me that the recent decision of the SCC in i Trade Finance Inc. v. Bank of Montreal, 2011 SCC 26 (CanLII)(20 May 2011) http://www.canlii.org/en/ca/scc/doc/2011/2011scc26/2011scc26.html would be of interest to those interested in unjust enrichment and tracing issues. List members Lionel Smith and Angela Swan are cited. As a I read it the bottom line was that the Bank, in taking security over some shares which were purchased with fraudulently obtained funds, but without notice of the fraud, was entitled to be protected by the equitable defence of bone fide purchaser for value without notice. But there are also some interesting comments on the effects of Ontario's personal property securities legislation, a version of which is about to commence in Australia.
Regards
Neil
