PRACTICE

Endorsement of Notice in Register

On satisfactory completion of the preliminary inspection, the registrar enters the notice in the register in the legal notation segment of title and enters the plan number in the miscellaneous notes segment.

Registrar Makes No Distinction between Builders Lien or Claim of Builders Lien

For the purpose of s. 7(2)(a)(vi), the registrar makes no distinction between a builders lien or a claim of builders lien. The registrar registers either a builders lien or a claim of builders lien after an expropriation notice or order has been filed.

Notice to Expropriating Authority

Where the registrar registers an instrument permitted under s. 7(2)(a)(i) to (vi), the registrar gives notice of it to the expropriating authority.
