Bulletin information:

Issue Date: April 21, 1981
Legislation: The Registry Act, R.S.O. 1970, c. 409, s. 76(2) and the Land Titles Act, R.S.O. 1970, c. 234 s. 117(2)

Bulletin content:

Subsection 2 of section 76 of The Registry Act as amended, provides: “A land registrar shall immediately after becoming aware of any omission or error in recording cause to be made such entries, alterations or corrections as are requisite, and a memorandum stating the date of every such entry, alteration or correction, and the memorandum shall be signed by the land registrar or his deputy.

No correction is to be made to an entry in an abstract index or other official record under the Registry Act except in conformity with section 76(2).

Where a correction (including a deletion) is to be made to an entry in a parcel register or other official record under the Land Titles Act, the procedure set out in s. 76(2) of the Registry Act is to be followed, if the correction is of a minor nature. Where a correction to be made would in any way affect the rights of any person, the procedure in section 177(2) of the Land Titles Act is to be follow, which in most cases will involve notifying the parties concerned.

This bulletin supersedes the three paragraphs under the heading “Correction of Entries” in my memo to all land registrars dated January 26, 1981.
