47 Amendment of registered deed

• (1) If a trust deed or deed of participation that has been registered under this Act has been lawfully amended, the issuer must ensure that there is delivered to the Registrar, as soon as practicable after the amendment, a copy of the instrument by which the amendment to the deed was made.

  (2) The Registrar must promptly register every copy of an instrument amending a deed that—

  • (a) is delivered to him or her for registration under this section; and

  • (b) if the Registrar so requires, is accompanied by a copy of the deed as amended.

  (3) However, the Registrar must refuse to register a copy of an instrument amending a deed if,—

  • (a) in his or her opinion, the deed as amended contains any material matter that is not clearly legible; or

  • (b) the prescribed amount payable on registration is not paid.

  (4) The Registrar must, on the registration of a copy of an instrument of amendment under this section, give a certificate of that registration (and the certificate is conclusive evidence that the instrument has been registered under this section).
