Registry office

Definition and stakes

James Mackay Drummond,  The Life and Work of Richard John Seddon (1907)

“ Every registry office must be licensed, and books and records must be kept and be thrown open to inspection. The proprietor of a registry office is not allowed to take in servants as lodgers; neither he nor any member of his family may have any interest in servants’ lodging houses; and each application for a license must be accompanied by a certificate of good character. [2]
The Labour Department, with bureaux in all parts of the colony, takes a prominent place in the administration of the labour laws.

“ Pending registration, no change can be set up against other persons. If there is provisional disposition to suspend the performance of duties by, or to appoint a substitute for, a registered director, supervisor, liquidator or member, or a change or cancellation of such provisional disposition, registration thereof shall be effected at the registry having jurisdiction over the principal office and at the registry having jurisdiction over any other office. ”

“ In order to guarantee the titles of land owners, a registry office has been recently established, in which is inscribed the name of the actual owner, the manner in which the property was acquired, the incumbrances attaching to its purchase, if any, and any conditions which limit the possessor’s right to dispose of it. ”
