South Australian Consolidated Acts South Australian Consolidated Acts11—Proceedings to be adopted where land vests in His Majesty
(1) When any land
acquired under this Act vests in His Majesty the King, the Governor may cause
the grant, duplicate certificate of title, or other muniment or muniments of
title, and the instrument or document whereby the land is conveyed to His
Majesty, to be lodged with the Registrar-General.
(2) The
Registrar-General shall make any entry in the Register Book or other book in
the Lands Titles or General Registry Office necessary or proper to evidence
the vesting of the land in His Majesty.
(3) If any of such
land is under the provisions of the Real Property Act 1886 the
Registrar-General shall, upon receiving the transfer or other instrument
whereby the same is conveyed to His Majesty, make an entry on the folium
relating thereto in the Register Book as follows: "Cancelled, the land [ or
part of the land] having been acquired by the Crown". Thereafter the land
referred to in this subsection shall, for the purposes of the Real
Property Act 1886 and until again alienated from the Crown, be dealt with
and regarded in all respects as if it had never been alienated from the Crown.
(4) Upon receiving the
grant or duplicate certificate of title of the land in any such case as
mentioned in subsection (3) of this section, the Registrar-General shall
cancel the same by endorsing thereon the words—"Cancelled, the within
land [ or part of the within land] having been acquired by the Crown"; and if
the land is not the whole of the land comprised in the grant or certificate of
title, the Registrar-General shall, without fee, issue a fresh certificate of
title for the balance of the land so comprised.
