34 Vesting order consequential on judgment for specific performance, &c.
Where a judgment is given for the specific performance of a contract concerning any land, or for the partition or sale in lieu of partition, or exchange of any land, or generally where any judgment is given for the conveyance of any land, either in cases arising out of the doctrine of election or otherwise, the Supreme Court may declare that any of the parties to the action are trustees of the land, or any part thereof, within the meaning of this Act, or may declare that the interests of unborn persons who might claim under any party to the action, or under the will or voluntary settlement of any person deceased who was during his lifetime a party to the contract or transactions concerning which the judgment is given, are the interests of persons who, on coming into existence, would be trustees within the meaning of this Act; and thereupon the Supreme
Court may make a vesting order relating to the rights of those persons, born and unborn, as if they had been trustees.
