Abstract

This Act directs the Registrar of Titles to make a new register of titles for Dominica. This Act applies only in cases where certificates of title which were registered in the old register have been destroyed. The Act contains rules relative to (application for) registration and evidence of title. The Act also provides for the lodging of caveats for the establishment of interests in land other than freehold and certain leaseholds. The Registrar may apply to Court for an order to define the rights and liabilities of a person in relation to any land or interest in land or for an order of compliance with requisitions of the Registrar.
