LAND TITLE ACT - SECT 3

    (1)     The object of this Act is to consolidate and reform the law about the registration of land and interests in land and in particular:

        (a)     to simplify the title to land and facilitate dealings with land;

        (b)     to define the rights of persons with an interest in registered land;

        (c)     to continue and improve the system for registering title to and transferring interests in land;

        (d)     to define the powers and functions of the Registrar-General under this Act;

        (e)     to facilitate access to information about administrative interests and other information in respect of land;

        (f)     to assist the keeping of the land register in the Land Titles Office, particularly by authorising the use of information technology; and

        (g)     to facilitate the collection and disposal of information relating to land or the buying and selling of land.

    (2)     If there is an inconsistency between a provision of this Act and a provision of the Law of Property Act 2000 , this Act prevails.
