In regard to Appendix 2 it may be pointed out that Reg. 53 substitutes a transfer

in writing for the present form of transfer by Deed. The reason for making the change is that "a deed executed in blank is inoperative as a legal transfer" (See Palmer page 669, citing Hibblethwite V M'Morine 6 M and W 200, and Powell V London and Provincial Bank 1893, 2 Ch. 555.)
