(2) An instrument referred to in section 27L(3)(c) or (d) is ineffective for creating, assigning or affecting any interest in or conferred by a licence, or for the devolution of a licence or any interest in or conferred by a licence, until it is registered. (3) A licence when registered is not invalid only because of any defect or irregularity (other than one resulting from fraud) in any application or process leading up to the grant of the licence. (4) The registrar must make sure that documents relating to the same licence are registered in the order in which they are lodged for registration. (5) The approval or registration of a document does not give any right, interest or dealing that is evidenced by that document any force or effect that the right, interest or dealing would not have had if this Division had not been enacted.
