If an action is brought to recover any loss or damage occasioned solely by the registration of the land, or solely by the registration of any other person as the owner thereof, or if the action be brought for the recovery of any loss or damage occasioned solely by the omission, mistake or misfeasance of the registrar or the registrar's deputy, or of any examiner or of any court administrator, or of a deputy of the court administrator or examiner, in the performance of their respective duties, the commissioner of management and budget, in the commissioner's official capacity, shall be the sole defendant.
