Article 11 Certificates of official inspection of filed plan

A person who has authority to inspect a filed plan may apply for a certificate of inspection of that filed plan.

The application may be made on form 101 or, in such cases as the registrar specifies, may be made otherwise than in documentary form by such means of communication as the registrar may from time to time authorise.

Where the application is made on form 101 it shall be delivered in duplicate.

Where the application is made otherwise than in documentary form, it shall, unless the registrar otherwise directs, include the information specified in and in the sequence set out in Part I of Schedule 6 to these rules.

The application shall be delivered to the proper office and on completion of the inspection an official certificate of inspection shall be issued but such a certificate shall not confer upon the applicant priority for the registration of any dealing.

The official certificate of inspection shall either be in form 102 or, if issued otherwise than in documentary form, shall include the information specified in Part II of Schedule 6 to these rules.

An official inspection of the filed plan made pursuant to an application under these rules shall be regarded as an official search for the purposes of section 83(3) of the Act and rule 295 of the principal rules.
