Text of the provision Official document
193 Registrar's minutes of defects found in titles (1) Before issuing a limited certificate of title the Registrar shall file with his records a minute signed by him clearly setting forth the acts or matters that ought to be done or proved, and the requisitions that ought to be complied with, in order to justify him in issuing an ordinary certificate of title. Those requisitions shall, if necessary, include a requisition for the surrender of the instruments of title referred to in section 21 of this Act, and may include a requisition for the deposit of a plan of a survey of the land. (2) He shall thereupon send a copy of the Registrar's minutes to the proprietor of every estate or interest in the land as evidenced by the Deeds Register or the instruments of title. (3) The Registrar may from time to time revise and amend the Registrar's minutes so as to indicate which of the acts or matters or requisitions therein referred to have been done or proved or complied with, and may alter or add to those minutes, but not so as to prejudice the limited title of, or throw any onus upon, a purchaser or mortgagee, bona fide for valuable consideration, from the registered proprietor of the land, or of any estate or interest in the land, comprised in a limited certificate of title. All such revisions and additions shall be authenticated by the signature of the Registrar.
