| (1) | Deeds executed or attested by the Director-General shall be deemed to be registered upon the affixing of his or her signature on the relevant document. |

| (3) | Subject to this Act, no deed or document which is one of a batch of interdependent deeds or documents intended for registration together shall be deemed to be registered until all the deeds or documents in the batch or the registration endorsement in respect thereof, as the case may be, have been signed by the Director-General. |
| (4) | If, by inadvertence, the signature of the Director-General has not been affixed to a deed executed or attested by him or her, or to the registration endorsement in respect of the registration of a deed, diagram, plan or other document lodged at the time at which the signature should have been affixed in the ordinary course, the Director-General may affix his or her signature on the deed or document when the omission is discovered, and the deed or document shall be deemed to have been registered at the time when the signature should have been affixed. |
| (5) | Subject to subsection (4), all endorsements or entries made on deeds, documents or registers in connection with the registration of any deed or document shall be deemed to have been effected simultaneously with the affixing of the signature of the Director-General thereto, although in fact they may have been made subsequently. |
