Land Title Act 1994

The registrar may reject an instrument or document to which a requisition relates and any instrument that depends on it for registration if—

for a requisition given under section 156(1)—the requisition is not complied with by a person within the time stated or extended by the registrar; or

the requisition is given under section 156(7).

An instrument rejected under subsection (1) loses its priority under section 178.

If the registrar rejects an instrument or document under subsection (1) the registrar must—

give a written notice of the rejection to the person to whom the registrar gave the requisition for the instrument or document; and

if the instrument or document is in paper form—return the instrument or document to the person who lodged or deposited it.

A memorandum recording the rejection of an instrument under subsection (1) may be endorsed on the rejected instrument or recorded in a separate record kept in the land registry.

An electronic conveyancing document that has been rejected under subsection (1) can not be relodged.

Subject to subsection (5), this section does not prevent relodgement of an instrument rejected under subsection (1)(a) after the requisition has been complied with.
