7  Registering the interests in land etc.
 (1) This section applies if there is lodged with the Registrar of Titles a certificate that:
 (a) is signed by the Minister; and
 (b) identifies an interest in land, whether by reference to a map or otherwise, that has:
 (i) vested in the Commonwealth under section 5; or
 (ii) been granted to the landholders as mentioned in section 6; and
 (c) states that the interest has so vested or has been so granted (as the case requires).
 (2) The Registrar of Titles may:
 (a) register the matter in a way that is the same as, or similar to, the way in which dealings in interests of that kind are usually registered; and
 (b) deal with, and give effect to, the certificate.
 (3) If subparagraph (1)(b)(ii) applies to the certificate, the certificate is taken to be a deed of grant for the purposes of the Land Titles Act 1996 (Norfolk Island).
 (4) If subparagraph (1)(b)(ii) applies to the certificate, section 40 of the Land Titles Act 1996 (Norfolk Island) applies after the lodgement as if:
 (a) that section required the Registrar of Titles to create a single registered title covering the old Mulberry Lane land and any other parcels of land that:
 (i) are held in fee simple by the landholders as joint tenants, as trustees for the Sandy Williamson Super Fund; and
 (ii) share a common boundary with the old Mulberry Lane land; and
 (b) subsection (2) of that section were omitted.
Note: Under section 40 of the Land Titles Act 1996 (Norfolk Island), the Registrar of Titles may create a single registered title for 2 or more parcels of land that share a common boundary and that are held in fee simple by the same registered owner.
 (5) A document that appears to be a certificate referred to in subsection (1):
 (a) is taken to be such a certificate; and
 (b) is taken to have been properly given;
unless the contrary is established.
