TRANSFER OF LAND ACT 1893 - SECT 14

14 .         Commissioner and Registrar may exercise functions electronically

        (1)         Anything that the Commissioner is required or authorised to do under this Act may be done by the Commissioner by electronic means in any way the Commissioner determines is appropriate.

        (2)         Anything that the Registrar is required or authorised to do under this Act may be done by the Registrar by electronic means in any way the Registrar determines is appropriate.

        (3)         If, in reliance on this section, something is done electronically when it would otherwise be required to have been done, or could have been done, using or with respect to a paper document, the doing of that thing electronically has the same effect as if that thing had been done using or with respect to a paper document.

        (4)         This section applies even though the provision requiring or authorising the Commissioner or Registrar to do something expressly or impliedly requires or authorises the thing to be done by means of a paper document.
