19: Removal of qualification

You could also call this:

"Removing a condition from a land title record"

You can have a qualification removed from a record of title. The Registrar can cancel the old record and create a new one without the qualification. This happens when the Registrar is satisfied that the reason for the qualification is no longer valid. You get the same estate or interest in the new record of title as you had in the old one. The order of priority stays the same in the new record. The Registrar must make sure this happens when creating the new record of title. You can look at s 51 for more information about this. The Registrar's job is to make sure the records are accurate. This is how the Registrar updates the records when a qualification is removed.

19Removal of qualification

If the Registrar is satisfied that the grounds for recording a qualification in a record of title have ceased to exist, the Registrar may cancel the qualified record of title and create a new record of title without the qualification.
The Registrar must record in the new record of title any estate or interest registered or noted in the qualified record of title in the same order of priority.
