"void against.. for want of"
I came across this sentence while looking up the definition for constructive notice [1] in a legal dictionary, and am having trouble understanding this particular clause (highlighted):
Could be understood as "unless those matters are ineffectual for reasons specified under the Land Charges Act 1992"?
-
[1] Knowledge that the law presumes a person to have even if he is actually ignorant of the facts
Thank you
A purchaser of unregistered land is bound by all matters of which he has constructive, as well as actual notice unless those matters are void against him for want of registration under the Land Charges Act 1992.I'd be grateful for any insights/simplification of the above. I'm otherwise aware of the use of for want in the sense of for want of a better word.
