Cap. 296 Art. 19Duties of applicant for registration.

(1) Before the completion of the registration of any title to land in respect of which an examination is required, the applicant for registration and his legal advisor shall each, if required by the registrar, make a sworn declaration that, to the best of his knowledge and belief, all deeds, wills and other documents and all charges and encumbrances affecting the title which is the subject of the application, and all facts material to such title, have been disclosed in the course of the investigation of title made by the registrar, and he may further be required by the registrar to state what means he has had of becoming acquainted with the several matters referred to in this article.

(2) Where an application for registration is incompatible with a title which is already registered in the registry in such manner that the registration cannot be effected, the applicant may lodge a caution and the provisions of Part V of this Act shall apply thereto, unless the land is registered with a guaranteed title, in which case the applicant may only seek the rectification of the register.
