This subsection should also be constructed as applying to other instruments which affects land as set out above.
For the purpose of claims 149(2)(a), the “remainder” of a registered parcel is to be treated as the whole of a parcel. However, in some cases, where additions to or severances from the original description result in a new description that is, in the opinion of the land registrar, vague, complicated or inaccurate, subsections 141(1) authorizes the land registrar to request a new description for the parcel including the option of a reference plan.
