Registrars' Conference Resolutions 2018

INTRODUCTION

The Annual Registrars’ Conference was attended by senior managers from the deeds registries, as well as the senior managers from the offices of the Surveyors General. Also present were representatives from each of the Provincial Law Societies.

In total 24 matters were discussed and resolutions taken. These relate to the day to day practice of Conveyancing and Notarial Practice, and become operative on the 2nd January 2019, vide CRC 16 of 2005.
