15. Preparation and maintenance of strata register.
(1) The Registrar shall prepare and maintain for the purposes
of this Act a register of strata titles to be known as the strata register.
(2) The strata register shall consist of a series of books,
each relating to one lot, and every such book shall contain-
(a) an index in Form 2 to the
individual parcels and, if any, appurtenant accessory parcels and to the individual
provisional block, if any, comprised in the lot;
(b) a statement in Form 3 which
subject to subsection (4), (5) and (6) shall-
(i) set out, or where appropriate summarise so far as
they relate to matters capable of affecting any of those parcels or provisional
blocks, all express conditions and restrictions-in-interest
which appeared on the register document of title to the lot at the time
the statement was authenticated by the Registrar; or
(ii) confirm that there were no such entries;
(c) a copy of the certified
strata plan prepared under paragraph (a) of subsection (1) of section
13; and
(d) the register document of
title to each parcel and each provisional block.
(3) The name of the management corporation, and the address
for the service of documents thereon, required to be stated in the index in
Form 2 shall be supplied to the Registrar by the proprietor of the lot.
(3A) Where the proprietor of the lot, after being given reasonable
notice by the Registrar, fails to supply the name of the management corporation
or the address for service of documents thereon as required by subsection (3),
the Registrar-
(a) as regards the name of
the management corporation, shall himself determine the name to be stated
in the index in Form 2; or
(b) as regards the address
for service, shall cause to be stated in the index in Form 2 the postal address
of any building erected within the lot.
(4) For the purposes of the statement in Form 3, no account
shall be taken of any lease tenancy or any caveat
relating to a part of the building which corresponds precisely with, or is included
within one of the parcels created on the subdivision, or of any charge of, or
lien over, such a lease; but caveat or charge shall
be endorsed on the register document of title to the parcel in question.
(5) The Registrar shall, in the case of private caveats or
Registrar's caveats appearing on the register document of title to the lot,
if satisfied that such caveats affect only particular parcels created on the
subdivision, endorse such caveats on the register documents of title to the
parcels in question and endorse or cause to be endorsed,
a note of the cancellation of such caveats on the register document of title
to the lot.
(6) Where the Registrar
is unable to ascertain to his satisfaction the caveats which affect the particular
parcels, the caveats shall remain in the register document of title to the lot:
Provided that the Registrar may at any time
thereafter, if it can be ascertained to his satisfaction that any of such caveats
relate to particular parcels, endorse such caveats on the register documents
of title to the parcels in question and endorse or cause to be endorsed, a note
of the cancellation of such caveats on the register document of title to the
lot.
16.
Documents of strata title.
(1) The Registrar shall prepare documents of strata title
in respect of-
(a) a parcel; and
(b) a provisional block, if
any.
(2) The documents of strata title to be prepared by the Registrar
in respect of any parcel or provisional block under subsection (1) shall consist
of-
(a) a register document of
title in Form 4 in respect of a parcel and in Form 4A in respect of a provisional
block;
(b) an issue document of title,
consisting of a copy of the register document to which shall be attached-
(i) the copy of the certified strata plan or of the relevant
folio of that plan prepared under paragraph (d) of subsection (1)
of section 13; and
(ii) where appropriate, a copy of the statement in Form
3:
Provided that, in the case of a parcel created on the division
or amalgamation of any existing parcels, the plan to be attached to the issue
documents of title shall be such as may be prepared in accordance with Part
V of this Act.
(3) Every document of strata title shall be prepared in the
name of the person last registered as proprietor of the lot in question, or
where it relates to a parcel created as mentioned in the proviso to subsection
(2) in the name of the person last registered as proprietor of the existing
parcel or parcels.
(4) (Deleted by Act A753)
(5) The registration of the register documents of strata title
shall consist of their authentication under the hand and seal of the Registrar;
and the date of registration shall be inscribed by him on every document.
(6) The provisions of sections 89 to 91 of the National Land
Code shall apply to documents of strata titles as they apply to documents of
final title:
Provided that where any parcel is subject to a charge or lien,
nothing in section 90 of the National Land Code shall be taken to authorise
the issue of the document of title thereto to the proprietor of the parcel.
17. Effect of opening of book of strata register.
(1) On authenticating if applicable
the statement in Form 3 required to be contained in any book of the strata
register, the Registrar shall make on the register and issue documents of title
to the lot in question a memorial to the effect that the book has been opened,
and that the common property is vested in the management corporation and shall
return the issue document to that corporation.
(2) No entry shall thereafter be made on either of the documents
of title except one affecting the common property.
(3) (Deleted
by Act 1290)
