(1)If the deposited plan or the deposited book of reference are inaccurate in their description of any land, or in their statement or description of the ownership or occupation of any land, the Authorities, after giving not less than 10 days' notice to the owner and occupier of the land in question, may apply to two justices having jurisdiction in the place where the land is situated for the correction of the plan or book of reference.
(2)If on such an application it appears to the justices that the misstatement or wrong description arose from mistake or inadvertence, the justices shall certify accordingly and shall in their certificate state in what respect a matter is misstated or wrongly described.
(3)The certificate shall be deposited in the office of the Clerk of the Parliaments and a copy of it in the Private Bill Office of the House of Commons and at the principal offices of the county council and the city council; and the deposited plan and the deposited book of reference shall be deemed to be corrected according to the certificate, and it shall be lawful for the Authorities to proceed under this Act as if the deposited plan or the deposited book of reference had always been in the corrected form.
(4)Where a copy of the certificate is deposited under subsection (3) above, it shall be kept with the documents to which it relates.
