Land Act 1994

A document may be registered only if—

the document is in the appropriate form and correctly executed; and

the document complies with the directions of the registrar of titles about—

how the appropriate form must be completed; and

how information to be included in or given with the document must be included or given; and

if the Minister’s or chief executive’s approval is needed—the Minister or chief executive has given written approval to the transaction to which the document relates.

However, if a document is not in the appropriate form, it may be registered if the registrar of titles is satisfied it is not reasonable to require the document to have been executed in the appropriate form.

Also, a document that does not comply with a direction mentioned in subsection (1)(b) may be registered if the registrar of titles is satisfied it is reasonable to not require the compliance.

Subsections (2) and (3) do not apply to an electronic conveyancing document.
