Relationships Act 2003

The Registrar may, on application, search the Register for an entry about a deed of registration.

The applicant must state the reason for the applicant's interest in the subject matter of the search.

The Registrar may reject the application if the applicant does not have an adequate reason for wanting the information to which the application relates.

In deciding whether an applicant has an adequate reason for wanting information, the Registrar must have regard to – the relationship, if any, between the applicant and the persons to whom the information relates; and the age of the entry; and the contents of the entry; and any other relevant factors.
