(Statutory Rules 1920, No. 25, as amended to this date.)
Regulation 20d of the Treaty of Peace Regulations is repealed and the following regulation is inserted in its stead: —
“20d. Where—
Registration of Public Trustee as registered proprietor of land.
(a) the property right or interest vested in the Public Trustee by the Minister consists of the estate or interest in land of a national of the former German Empire as heir‑at‑law or devisee of a deceased registered proprietor of such land under the law in force in the State or part of the Commonwealth in which the land is situated; and
(b) had such estate or interest not been vested in the Public Trustee and had the heir‑at‑law or devisee not been a national of the former German Empire, the heir‑at‑law or devisee would have been entitled under the said law to apply to be registered as proprietor of such estate or interest; and
(c) a copy of the vesting order certified under the hand of the Public Trustee is lodged with the Registrar‑General or Registrar of Titles or other proper officer of such State or part of the Commonwealth,
the Registrar‑General, Registrar of Titles or other proper officer shall, whether the duplicate grant or Certificate of Title in respect, of the land is produced or not, register such vesting order in the Register Book and in the manner as nearly as may be in which dealings with land or an estate or interest therein are registered and deal with and give effect to such vesting order as if the Public Trustee were the heir‑at‑law or devisee of the deceased registered proprietor and the vesting order were an application duly made under the said law by the Public Trustee as such heir‑at‑law or devisee to be registered as proprietor of such estate or interest.”
