17—Application in relation to part of the land in a certificate
(1) Where an allotment
comprises a part, but not the whole, of the land in a certificate of title, an
application for division of the allotment under this Act can only be made if
the remainder of the land in the certificate—
(a)
constitutes the whole of an allotment or a number of allotments; or
(b)
constitutes an allotment or allotments and a part allotment or part allotments
that are contiguous with that allotment or one or more of those allotments.
(2) The requirement
for contiguity in subsection (1)(b) does not apply to a part allotment
that was not contiguous with any allotment in the certificate before the
division occurred.
