4 Destruction of records by Registrar General

(1) The Registrar General may from time to time cause to be destroyed:

(a) any bill of sale (or copy thereof or documents relating thereto) transferred to his office in respect of which satisfaction has been entered or a full discharge has been registered, but only after the lapse of ten years from the entry of satisfaction or the registration of the full discharge, as the case may be,

(b) any bill of sale (or copy thereof or documents relating thereto) filed or lodged more than ten years previously, and of which no renewal of registration has been filed within such period of ten years.

(2) On the destruction of any such bill of sale, or copy or documents, the Registrar General shall cause a note of the fact of such destruction to be made in the book in which the entry of the filing of the bill of sale occurs.

(3) Such note shall be prima facie evidence of the matters set out therein and of the due observance of the requirements of this Act.
