the
Commissioner shall give a certificate to the Registrar-General that the land is to be vested in the registered proprietor, and if the land is to be subject to any easement, the certificate shall describe the easement;
in lieu of a certificate of title being issued for the land comprised in the closed road, the Registrar-General may, upon the production of such surveys and other documents as the Registrar‑General may require, issue a certificate of title comprising the contiguous land and the land comprised in the closed road and make such consequential alterations in the register book as may be necessary or expedient;
every certificate of title so issued shall be expressed to be subject, and the land therein described shall be subject, to such encumbrances, liens, interests, easements, and trusts as were shown by the certificate of title for the contiguous land immediately prior to its consolidation and by the certificate given by the Commissioner;
those easements that are appurtenant to the contiguous land shall be appurtenant to the land comprised in the certificate of title and the certificate of title shall be appropriately endorsed by the
Registrar-General.
