Burden and elements of the plea

My lords, it is not just any evidence that the court demands in proof of the equitable defence of bona fide purchaser for value without notice, but the kind of evidence that shows that the party relying on the plea acted innocently and in good faith. Thus, for a party to successfully invoke the doctrine, it must be shown that the party acted in good faith by the way and manner in which he acquired the property in dispute.
