Under the Torrens title system in Queensland, which of the following is NOT an exception to indefeasibility of title?

Correct Answer

C) A buyer who paid less than market value for the land

Paying below market value does not, by itself, defeat indefeasibility. Recognised exceptions include fraud, short-term tenancies, and interests created by statute such as easements.

Answer Options
A
Fraud by the person who is now the registered proprietor
B
A tenant holding a short lease of three years or less
C
A buyer who paid less than market value for the land
D
An easement or right created under another statute

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Paying less than market value does not affect indefeasibility. A buyer who registers without fraud obtains indefeasible title however good the bargain, whereas fraud, short leases and statutory rights are recognised exceptions.
