99 .         Certificate of charge amount

        (1)         The Director General must, on application by the owner of land or a purchaser of land, issue a certificate —

            (a)         stating whether there is a charge on the land under this Division; and

            (b)         if there is — stating the charge amount, or, if the charge amount is yet to be determined, estimating the amount.

        (2)         If a certificate has been issued the Director General cannot —

            (a)         assert the existence of a charge not disclosed in the certificate; or

            (b)         assert that a charge covered (at the date of the certificate) an amount exceeding the amount disclosed in the certificate.

        (3)         However, giving an estimate of the charge amount in the certificate does not prevent the Director General from determining a different charge amount if further relevant information becomes available.
