Section 27
Land-register as evidence
(1)
Every folio of the land-register duly authenticated under the hand and seal of the Registrar shall be received in all courts as evidence of the particulars therein set forth and that the land therein comprised has been duly brought under the provisions of this Act and that the person named as proprietor therein or in any memorial thereon is, or was at the relevant time, entitled to the estate or interest in the land therein specified and described.
(2)
Where a duplicate folio of the land-register is before the Court in any action or suit, it has the same value in evidence as the original folio if the parties thereto are prepared so to admit, and any party who requires production in court of an original folio when the duplicate thereof is available shall bear the cost of such production unless the Court, being satisfied that the production was justified, makes an order to the contrary.[23
