(1B) For subsection (1A) (b) , a person was the mortgagor under an instrument of mortgage or amendment of mortgage if the person executed the instrument as mortgagor, including, if the instrument is an electronic conveyancing document, through a subscriber digitally signing the instrument under the Electronic Conveyancing National Law (Queensland) .
(1C) Also, for subsection (1A) (b) , a person was the mortgagor under an instrument of mortgage or amendment of mortgage if the instrument is an electronic conveyancing document and the person signed, as mortgagor, a document that under the participation rules under the Electronic Conveyancing National Law (Queensland)

"easement particulars" ) are taken to have been omitted from the freehold land register only if—
(a) the easement was in existence when the lot burdened by it was first registered, but the easement particulars have never been recorded in the freehold land register against the lot; or
(b) the easement particulars have previously been recorded in the freehold land register, but the current particulars in the freehold land register about the lot do not include the easement particulars, other than because the easement has been extinguished in relation to the lot; or
(c) the instrument providing for the easement was lodged for registration but, because of an error of the registrar, has never been registered.
(4) Subsection (3) applies whether or not the lot has at any time been transferred or otherwise dealt with.
(5) If an issue arises in a proceeding as to whether a person registered as a mortgagee does not obtain the benefit of section 184 because of subsection (1A) , proof that the person complied with section 11A (2) or 11B (2) rests on the person.
