Duty of Registrar of Titles as to applications under Part III.

[New]

24.—(1) The Registrar of Titles shall deal with applications received under this Part in the order in which they are received so far as is consistent with the efficient discharge of all his functions as Registrar of Titles.

(2) Where the Registrar is satisfied for reasons submitted in writing by the applicant or any other person concerned that an application is exceptional in that compliance with the duty imposed by subsection (1) in respect of it would result in serious inconvenience or substantial loss to any such person, he may deal with the application otherwise than in the order in which it was received.

(3) No action shall lie against the Registrar in relation to the duty imposed upon him under this section.
