Chapter 5 provides for the establishment and maintenance of a register with respect to personal property securities and certain prescribed personal property (the Register of Personal Property Securities). The Registrar of Personal Property Securities is responsible for maintaining the register. Chapter 5 also deals with how the register can be searched, and how certain non‑registered data can be provided through the register (as a portal). A search by reference to the details of an individual grantor must be made for an authorised purpose set out in the Act. A person who carries out an unauthorised search, or uses data from an unauthorised search, may be liable to pay compensation or a civil penalty (or both).
