An Act to remove Difficulties in connection with Alterations in Boundaries of Land and Deeds Registration Districts.

Preamble.

WHEREAS alterations have from time to time been made in the boundaries of Land and Deeds Registration Districts under the provisions of “The Deeds Registration Act, 1868,” and “The Land Transfer Act, 1885” (hereinafter called “the said Acts”), whereby lands originally included in one such district have been transferred to and have become included in another district: And whereas it is for the most part impracticable to transfer the original registers from the districts in which they were originally constituted, and it is necessary to make special provision for the registration of dealings with land which have become included in other districts as aforesaid: And whereas for that purpose copies of the original registers, so far as they affect such lands, have been made and deposited with the Registrars of the districts in which such lands have become included, and it is desirable to give to such copies the force and effect of the original registers:

Be it therefore enacted by the General Assembly of New Zealand in Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:—

1 Short Title.

The Short Title of this Act is “The Land and Deeds Registration Districts Act, 1902.”

2 Interpretation.

In this Act, if not inconsistent with the context,—

“Register” means and includes all registers, record-books, indices, and books of reference required to be kept under the provisions of the said Acts respectively, or of any regulations thereunder.

3 Copies of register to be evidence in certain cases.

All copies of registers heretofore deposited with and used or accepted by any Registrar of Deeds or District Land Registrar for the purpose aforesaid, and all such copies as are, with the assent of such Registrar, at any time hereafter so deposited, whether in respect of alterations heretofore made or which may hereafter be made in the boundaries of any Land or Deeds Registration District, shall for all purposes of the said Acts have the force and effect of the original registers, and shall, as regards the lands affected by such alterations, be deemed to be the original registers, and be admissible in evidence as such.

4 Validation.

This Act shall extend to validate all entries heretofore made and all matters and things heretofore done in anticipation hereof which if done after the passing of this Act would be valid and effectual.
