223LH—Consent to plans of division

        (1)         An application for division must be endorsed with—

            (a)         where it appears from the Register Book that deposit of the plan of division in the Lands Titles Registration Office will affect the estate or interest of a person in the land to be divided or in any other land—a certificate signed by that person certifying that they have consented to the deposit of the plan; and

            (b)         where it appears from the Register Book that a person, apart from the registered proprietor or a person referred to in paragraph (a) has, or claims, an estate or interest in the land to be divided—a certificate signed by that person certifying that they have consented to the deposit of the plan; and

            (c)         where the land to be divided is subject to a statutory encumbrance—a certificate signed by or on behalf of the holder of the statutory encumbrance certifying that the holder of the statutory encumbrance has consented to the deposit of the plan.

        (2)         Where the deposit of a plan of division will operate to vest an estate or interest in land in a person, the application for division must be endorsed with a certificate signed by the person in whom the estate or interest will be vested certifying that he or she has consented to the deposit of the plan.

        (2a)         Where the deposit of a plan of division would result in the extinguishment of an easement in respect of part of the dominant land, the consent of a person who has, or claims, an estate or interest in the servient land is not required in relation to that extinguishment if rights under the easement continue in existence in respect of some other part of the dominant land.

        (3)         The Registrar-General may dispense with the requirement of consent under subsection (2) in relation to the vesting of an estate in fee simple in a street, road, thoroughfare, reserve or other similar open space or a service easement.

        (4)         A person who has applied for division of land is not required to sign a certificate under this section.

        (5)         The regulations may provide that in prescribed cases, or cases of a prescribed class, a certificate is not required under this section unless the Registrar-General specifically requires such a certificate.

        (6)         The Registrar-General may, if he or she thinks fit, dispense with a certificate required by this section.
