Section 29: Correction of errors in the Register of Presumed Deaths

Amends the Presumption of Death Act (Northern Ireland) 2009 to extend the type of errors which any person authorised by the Registrar General may correct in the Register of Presumed Deaths.  This provision ensures that errors in the Register of Presumed Deaths are corrected in the same manner as set out for the register of deaths.
