Land Act 1994

The registrar of titles, by notice (the requisition) given to a person who has lodged or deposited a document, or to another person who reasonably appears to the registrar to be relevantly associated with the document, may require a person to—

re-execute, complete or correct the document if it appears to the registrar to be wrong, incomplete or defective; or

produce to the registrar stated information, or deposit a stated document, in support of the application to register a document.

The registrar of titles may require the document or information to be verified by statutory declaration or affidavit.

The requisition may—

state when, and where, it must be complied with; and

if it relates to an electronic conveyancing document, be accompanied by a copy of the document.

The registrar of titles may extend the time for complying with a requisition.

The registrar of titles may refuse to deal with a document lodged or deposited (and any document depending on it for registration) until the requisition is complied with.

Also, subsections (7) and (8) apply in relation to a document that is lodged if the registrar of titles is satisfied—

the document is not capable of registration; and

the reason the document is not capable of registration is not a matter for which a requisition may be given under subsection (1).

The registrar of titles may give notice (also the requisition) to the person who lodged the document, or to another person who reasonably appears to the registrar to be relevantly associated with the document, stating—

that the document is not capable of registration; and

why the document is not capable of registration.

The requisition may, if it relates to an electronic conveyancing document, be accompanied by a copy of the document.
