Section 112
⎯(1)
Every Registrar shall keep a Register in such form as may be prescribed and shall record therein particulars of all instruments, dealings and other matters required to be registered or entered on the Register.
(2)
Any existing Land Register under the former Land
Ordinance [Cap. 27 (1948 Ed.)] or the former Land Settlement
110
Ordinance [Cap. 28 (1948 Ed.)], hereinafter referred to as “a previous register”, shall, notwithstanding any difference in form, be deemed to form part of the Register, and any instruments or other dealings affecting land in either of these registers may be registered in accordance with this Code.
(3)
Notwithstanding subsection (2), upon the expiration of the term of a lease, Occupation Ticket or other document of title now registered in any previous register or upon the replacement of such a lease, Occupation Ticket, or document of title by a new lease or leases, whether upon a sub-division or otherwise, any new lease or leases shall, if the survey of the land has been completed to the satisfaction of the Superintendent, be registered in the Register and the prior record in the previous register shall be cancelled.
(4)
The Registrar may at any time, if he is satisfied as to the sufficiency of the survey of the land in any lease, Occupation Ticket or other document of title in a previous register under the former Land
Ordinance [Cap. 27 (1948 Ed.)], cancel the record in that register and transfer to the Register all the necessary particulars relating to the lease, Occupation Ticket or other document of title.
(5)
In this section a reference to a lease shall include a grant.
(6)
Notwithstanding anything in this section, if registration of an estate or interest, or of any entry in a previous register, has been made otherwise than in the name of a person, or has been made in the name of a person who would not be entitled to be registered as a proprietor under this Code, then that registration, and any other registration in the previous register affecting that registration, shall not form part of the Register until it has been included in the Register pursuant to an order of a competent court made under section 224 or has, otherwise, lawfully been included in the Register; and, if by any failure to appreciate that this subsection applies or by any error or omission, the registration of that estate, interest or entry, as the case may be, is included in the Register, such inclusion shall be void and shall not for the purposes of section 119 be deemed to have been registered in accordance with this Part.
