Whether a party needs to proof the title of vendor to the land in dispute; duty of court thereof

"The party does not need to prove the title of his vendor except where it has become an issue. Dosunmu vs. Joto (1987) 4 NWLR pt. 63 and pg.293.

The court however, owes a duty particularly where both parties agree that the title to land in dispute belongs to a common vendor, for either side to succeed he must be able to trace his root of title to the common vendor."
