(1)Notwithstanding anything hereinbefore contained, the Registrar may, after the publication at the applicant's expense of such advertisements as he or she deems fit, bring any land under the operation of this Act upon the applicant paying as an additional fee in respect of assurance of title a sum of money equal to five percent of the total value of the land as an indemnity by reason of the non-production of any document affecting the title or of the imperfect nature of the evidence of title, or against any uncertain or doubtful claim or demand arising upon the title.

(2)Where the Registrar is not satisfied that sufficient evidence of title to any land has been produced, he or she may refuse to bring that land under the operation of this Act.
