(1) Except as
otherwise provided in this Act, all the provisions of the principal Act shall,
so far as the circumstances of the case will admit, apply with respect to a
limited certificate of title and to the land comprised in a limited
certificate of title, and to the registration of instruments and other matters
affecting a limited certificate of title, save that the title of the
proprietor of an estate or interest in any land comprised in a limited
certificate of title shall be indefeasible to the extent prescribed by the
principal Act only against the person named in the original limited
certificate of title for such land, and all persons claiming through, under,
or in trust for him.
(2) A limited
certificate of title, and the memorials endorsed thereon of outstanding
interests in the land comprised therein, shall be evidence or conclusive
evidence, as the case may be, of the matters referred to in section 80 of
the principal Act, subject only to—
(a) the
doing of the acts, and proof of the matters, and compliance with the
requisitions set forth in the Registrar-General's minutes;
(b) the
title to the land, or to any estate or interest in the land, of any person,
the existence of which title, or the probable or possible existence of which,
is set forth or indicated in the Registrar-General's minutes;
(c) the
title (if any) of any person in actual occupation of, and rightfully entitled
to, any such land or any part thereof.
(3) Sections 69, 71,
80, 186 and 207 of the principal Act shall, in their application to a limited
certificate of title, be deemed to be modified accordingly.

the provisions of section 251 of the principal Act, the issue of a limited
certificate of title for any land shall not stop the running of time under the
Limitation of Actions Act 1936 in favour of any person in adverse
possession of such land at the time of the issue of that certificate, or in
favour of any person claiming through or under him.
