Acts are laws made by Parliament
Where any instrument lodged for registration with the Registrar is found not to be in order for registration, the Registrar may—
(a) Return the instrument and all other instruments lodged in connection with that instrument, or such of them as the Registrar thinks fit, to the person by whom they were lodged or, where that person is not available, to such other person as may, in the opinion of the Registrar, be entitled to receive them; or
(b) Retain the instrument pending rectification of any matter required by the Registrar to be rectified.
