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.
