(3) Whenever registration of a lease is effected in triplicate, the word
"triplicate" shall be marked on each copy and the words "lessor's part" shall
be marked on one copy and "lessee's part" on the other copy so returned, and
the provisions of this Act relating to duplicate instruments shall apply to
the copy marked "lessee's part".

(4) The Registrar, on application in that behalf and on proof to his
satisfaction that a duplicate instrument has been lost or destroyed, may,
subject to such advertisement notice or indemnity as the Registrar requires,
issue a certificate in place of the lost duplicate instrument and on the
relevant folio of the Register make a recording that such certificate has been
issued; and thereafter such certificate shall be produced to the Registrar
whenever production of the duplicate is required.

(5) Subsections (3) and (4) only apply to instruments registered before the
commencement of section 5 of the Transfer of Land (Electronic Transactions)
Act 2004.
