CONVEYANCING BAR’S OPPOSITION TO THE APPROACH ADOPTED BY WAY OF THE LAND TITLE REGISTRATION ACT 2011 (AS AMENDED)

The Land Title Registration Act 2011 (as amended) incorporates a number of components that have been opposed by members of the Conveyancing Bar ("CB") over the years, including (but not limited to) indicative boundaries, a potentially inequitable and unconstitutional title classification system and guarantee and indemnity provisions that are likely to expose Government (and ultimately the public purse) to unnecessary liability. The Conveyancing Bar's concerns in respect of the Act, as well as detailed proposals that were submitted for the purpose of addressing these concerns, are  highlighted in the correspondence listed below that passed between the Conveyancing Bar and Government between 2001 and 2017."
