Section 106 – Extracts and their evidential status
451.This section enables any person to obtain from the Keeper an extract of any entry or part of an entry in the RSP, on payment of any fee (or making an arrangement to pay). An extract is (irrebuttable) evidence of the contents of an entry at the relevant time (which is either the time the extract is issued or, in the case of a point-in-time extract requested by virtue of subsection (3), the time to which the extract relates), and can be used for the purpose of proving a fact in any court or tribunal proceedings. Liability is imposed on the Keeper for errors in extracts under section 109(1)(e) of the Act. It should also be noted that the ability to obtain an extract is subject to the ability by virtue of section 111(2)(f) for RSP Rules to prescribe that certain information on the register (for example, a precise date of birth) is not to be included in an extract.
