Bahamian Property Law

          Any assistance in locating the correct Bahamian statute
          would be appreciated. One of our law clerks has a portion
          of the Bahamas recording act; it states that with some
          exceptions, real property transfers may be recorded.
          However, it says nothing about the effect of recording re:
          notice, bona fide purchasers, etc. Is the Bahamas a
          "race-notice" jurisdiction? Does English statutory and
          common law (in the absence of Bahamian authority) control
          the question?

          Thanks in advance for any help that you may be able to
          provide us. We will, of course pay, any costs associated
          with sending the correct statutes to us.
