156 Rejecting instrument or document after requisition given
(1) The Registrar-General may reject an instrument or document to
which a requisition relates and any instrument that depends on it for
registration if:
(a) for a requisition given under section 155(1) – the requisition is
not complied with by a person within the time stated or
extended by the Registrar-General; or
(b) the requisition is given under section 155(7).
(2) An instrument or document rejected under subsection (1) loses its
priority under section 181 and must be returned by the Registrar-
General to the person who lodged it.
(3) A memorandum recording the rejection of an instrument or
document under subsection (1) may be endorsed on the rejected
instrument or in a separate record kept in the Land Titles Office.
(4) An electronic conveyancing document that has been rejected under
subsection (1) cannot be re-lodged.
(5) Subject to subsection (4), this section does not prevent an
instrument rejected under subsection (1)(a) being re-lodged after
the requisition has been complied with.
