About this statute

This section defines key terms used in the Act, including who counts as an authorised user, the Chief Registrar, a conveyancer, and what counts as a deed or document in electronic form. This provision only shows the section heading for definitions (“Woordomskrywing”). The Chief Registrar of Deeds must develop, establish and maintain the electronic deeds registration system, and may issue directives about how it works. Certain electronically generated, registered, executed, scanned, or incorporated deeds/documents are deemed to be the only original and valid record, subject to section 14 of the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act. Users of the electronic deeds registration system who are authorised by regulations must be registered as directed by the Chief Registrar of Deeds.
