Legislation: Land Titles Act

Bulletin content:

It is common for municipalities to apply for the registration of an inhibiting order open the registration of a new subdivision plan using Form 45 of Regulation 690.

Section 23 of the Land Titles Act provides that the Land Registrar upon application,

  • may issue an order, or
  • may make an entry

inhibiting any dealing with registered land or a charge for time, or until the occurrence of an event to be named in the relevant application.

The practice is many land registry offices is to both issue an order to make an entry of it in the parcel register, which is an unnecessary workload.

Effective immediately, land registrars are not required to issue a separate inhibiting order. The entry pursuant to the application referred to in section 23 need only be made.

When abstracting such an application, please note that the instrument will be abstracted as an Application rather than as an Inhibiting Order. The existing remarks set out in the abstracting standards concerning the effect of inhibiting dealing must continue to be abstracted.
