78: Registrar-General of Land must record entry on record of title when certificate is lodged under section 77

You could also call this:

“When someone brings a special paper, the person in charge of land records must write a note on the land's official papers.”

When someone gives the Registrar-General of Land a certificate as mentioned in section 77(1), the Registrar-General must do something important. They need to make a note on each record of title for the pieces of land mentioned in the certificate. This note says that the record of title has a special condition that’s written in the certificate.

However, there’s an exception to this rule. The Registrar-General doesn’t always have to make this note. Section 82 explains when they don’t have to do it.
