TRANSFER OF LAND ACT 1893 - SECT 27

27 .         Applications to bring land under this Act or to amend certificate may be granted as to land occupied under but not described in title deeds or certificate

                On any application to bring land under this Act by a description different from that in the muniments of title or for the amendment of a certificate or for the amendment or replacement of a relevant graphic the Commissioner may grant the same as to the land in the occupation of the applicant if the discrepancy between the land as occupied and as described in the muniments or certificate of title or relevant graphic shall appear to be due to the inaccuracy of any survey or plan or description on the sale of the land by the Crown or on any subsequent dealing therewith or to any discrepancy between the actual measurements or bearings at any time made or marked on the ground and those represented or mentioned in any plan or description.

        [Section 27 amended: No. 81 of 1996 s. 12; No. 6 of 2003 s. 10.]
