Section 99(1) of the Land Registration Act is clear that the Registrar of Titles may rectify the land register independently, subject only to a right of appeal to the High Court. The High Court judge erred in holding that a High Court order was a prerequisite for the Registrar's action. The Court of Appeal has jurisdiction to revise High Court decisions even after proceedings are concluded, and the erroneous High Court ruling is quashed and set aside.
