434: Transitional provision for certain entries on certificates of title made under former Act

You could also call this:

“Rules for old notes on land titles now work under the new law”

If you made certain entries on certificates of title or in official records before this section of the law came into effect, you need to know how they will be treated now. These entries include ones made on certificates of title under section 36(2) of the old law, entries in the Surveyor-General’s or Maori Land Court’s records under section 36(7) of the old law, and entries under section 641A of the Local Government Act 1974.

From the day this section starts, all of these old entries will be treated as if they were made under the new law. This means that the rules of the new law will apply to these entries, with any changes needed to make them fit.
