The Effect of Indefeasibility and Error Correction on the Registration Process

Anthony BECK, Duncan MOSS

Conventional wisdom indicates that there are two forms of register: a Register of Title and a Register of Deeds. However, we agree with Zevenbergen & Ploeger (2019, p. 7) when they state that in reality most systems are neither purely deeds or Title based and lie on a spectrum between the two poles. As binary concepts, the terms Title and Deed register are poorly suited at representing the reality of this spectrum. We recognise that registers have a need to represent both state and state change, and would argue that a Registrars stance on indefeasibility and error correction is a more nuanced way to both classify and understand registration systems.
