103. General provision as to correction of errors etc.





(1) In any proceeding in the Court relating to any land or any instrument or
dealing in respect thereof if the Court directs the Registrar to make any
amendments to the Register or otherwise to do any act or make any recordings
necessary to give effect to any judgment decree or order of the Court the
Registrar shall obey such direction.

(1AA) In any proceeding in VCAT under Part IV of the Property Law Act 1958
relating to land or any instrument or dealing in respect of land, if VCAT
directs the Registrar to make any amendment to the Register or otherwise to do
any act or make any recordings necessary to give effect to an order of VCAT
under that Part, the Registrar must obey that direction.

(1A) The Registrar may, if he or she considers it appropriate to do so,
correct a patent error in a document lodged for and awaiting registration and,
in doing so, the Registrar must not erase or make illegible the original entry
in the document and must note on the document the date on which the correction
was made.

			(2)    (a)	The Registrar may upon such evidence as appears to him sufficient correct errors in the Register or in any instrument or duplicate or plan of subdivision and supply entries or recordings omitted to be made therein under the provisions of this Act, but in any such case he shall not erase, delete or render illegible the original entry or recording, and shall indicate on that entry or recording the date on which the correction or recording was made.


   (b)  Every correction recording or entry under subsection (1A) or (2)(a)
        shall have the like validity and effect as if the error or omission
        had not occurred, but without prejudicing any rights accrued from any
        recording made in the Register prior to the actual time of correcting
        the error or supplying the omitted entry or recording.
