Subject to subsection (3) below, the Keeper shall make up and maintain a title sheet of an interest in land in the register by entering therein—

a

a description of the land which shall consist of or include a description of it based on the Ordnance Map, and, where the interest is that of the proprietor of the dominium utile or the lessee under a long lease and the land appears to the Keeper to extend to 2 hectares or more, its area as calculated by the Keeper ;

b

the name and designation of the person entitled to the interest in the land and the nature of that interest;

e

any enforceable real right pertaining to the interest or subsisting real burden or condition affecting the interest;

f

any exclusion of indemnity under section 12(2) of this Act in respect of the interest;

g

such other information as the Keeper thinks fit to enter in the register.

2

The Keeper shall enter a real right or real burden or condition in the title sheet by entering its terms or a summary of its terms therein; and such a summary shall, unless it contains a reference to a further entry in the title sheet wherein the terms of the real right, burden or condition are set out in full be presumed to be a correct statement of the terms of the right, burden or condition.

3

The Keeper's duty under subsection (1) above shall not extend to entering in the title sheet any over-feuduty or overrent exigible in respect of the interest in land, but he may so enter any such over-feuduty or over-rent.

4

Any overriding interest which appears to the Keeper to affect an interest in land—

a

shall be noted by him in the title sheet of that interest if it has been disclosed in any document accompanying an application for registration in respect of that interest;

b

may be so noted if—

i

application is made to him to do so;

ii

the overriding interest is disclosed in any application for registration; or

iii

the overriding interest otherwise comes to his notice.

In this subsection " overriding interest" does not include the interest of a lessee under a lease which is not a long lease.

5

The Keeper shall issue, to any person applying, a copy, authenticated as the Keeper thinks fit, of any title sheet, part thereof, or of any document referred to in a title sheet; and such copy, which shall be known as an office copy, shall be accepted for all purposes as sufficient evidence of the contents of the original.
