Otherwise, claim to be considered as soon as is practicable
 (2A) In any other case, the Registrar must finish considering the claim as soon as is practicable.

Information to be considered
 (3) In considering a claim under this section, the Registrar must have regard to:
 (a) information contained in the application and in any other documents provided by the applicant; and
 (b) any information obtained by the Registrar as a result of any searches conducted by the Registrar of registers of interests in relation to land or waters maintained by the Commonwealth, a State or a Territory; and

 (i) section 190B (which deals mainly with the merits of the claim); and
 (ii) section 190C (which deals with procedural and other matters).
 (6A) The Registrar must accept the claim (the later claim) for registration if:
 (a) a claim (the earlier claim) was made in an application given to the Registrar under section 63 or subsection 64(4) (the earlier application); and
