The Registrar may refuse to register or may reject a document submitted to the Registrar if the Registrar considers that the document —

contains matter contrary to law; or

contains matter, that in a material particular, is false or misleading in the form or context in which it is included; or

does not comply with the requirements of this Act; or

contains any error, alteration or erasure; or

that the document be appropriately amended; or

that a fresh document be submitted in its place; or

if the document has not been duly completed, that a supplementary document in the form approved by the Registrar be submitted.
