The prohibition in s 12A(3) of the Real Property Act 1900 (NSW) against bringing an 'action' against the Registrar-General where the Register has been altered after notice does not extend to proceedings under ss 122 and 138 of the Act seeking correction of the Register. The scope of 'action' in s 12A(3) is limited to claims for damages or compensation against the Registrar-General or the Torrens Assurance Fund. Section 12(3)(b) does not protect a registered proprietor from correction of the Register where the proprietor did not obtain indefeasible title because the interest in question was an omitted easement within s 42(1)(a1).
