Abstract

From the records or judgment, or order or decision of various specified courts, a Commission appointed under section 3 shall compile a replacement Register of native lands recording therein all titles to native lands, pits, ponds, fish traps and sea walls in South Tarawa. The Register shall be open for inspection by the villagers, who may raise objections and lodge claims with respect to matters regarding inclusion of title in the replacement Register of Native Lands. The replacement Register of Native Lands amended as a result of the determination of objections and claims made under section 6, shall be deemed to be a Register of Native Lands as defined by section 2 of the Native Lands Ordinance (Cap 61) and titles registered therein by the Commission shall, subject to section 8 of this Act, be indefeasible.
