12.(1) The Ministry may prescribe the nature (including shape, design, size,
colour, quality and other specifications and characteristics) of paper which,
by virtue of this subsection, is required to be used

(a)for the purposes of any provision of the Registration of Deeds Acts; or

(b)in transactions in the registry of deeds generally, not being transactions
involving the use of paper of a nature prescribed under paragraph (a).

(2) Any provision of the Registration of Deeds Acts requiring the use of
vellum or parchment shall be deemed to require the use in lieu thereof

(a)where regulations under subsection (1)(a) prescribe the nature of the paper
to be used for the purposes of that provision, paper of that nature; and

(b)in any other case, paper of the nature prescribed under subsection (1)(b).

(3) The Ministry shall cause to be made available for inspection at the
registry of deeds during normal office hours samples of paper of the nature
prescribed under this section and may make arrangements for the supply and
sale of any such paper.

(4) Any provision of the Registration of Deeds Acts which authorises or
requires any document to be in writing shall operate to authorise or, as the
case may be, to require that document to be written, typewritten or printed or
engraved or lithographed or photographed or represented or reproduced in any
mode by which the words of the document appear in a durable and legible form
and references in any provision of those Acts to writing shall be construed
accordingly.

(5) Where the registrar of deeds considers that any document tendered in
connection with any registration or transaction is not written or printed on
paper of the nature prescribed under this section or that the words of the
document do not appear in a durable and legible form, he may refuse to accept
that document for the purposes for which it is so tendered.
