The Registrar may dispense with production of the duplicate instrument for any of the purposes or in any of the following cases:
for the entry of a caveat;
for the registration of a writ of execution or order of court;
for the issue of a certificate of title in consequence of a claim to adverse possession pursuant to Division 2 of Part IV;
in any case where express provision to do so is made by this or any other Act; or
where satisfactory evidence has been furnished to show that the duplicate has been lost, mislaid or destroyed, or is being improperly or wrongfully withheld.

In any case under subsection (2)(e), the Registrar may require the person seeking registration to furnish evidence that the duplicate instrument has not been deposited as security for a loan, and to advertise (in such manner as the Registrar may direct) the application to dispense with production.[29
