If there is an error or omission on the register, what remedy is available?

• A. Reprimand of the registrar
• B. Court sanction to punish the registrar
• C. Private settlement with the seller
• D. Compensation in the event of error or omission on the register

Answer: (D)

When the register contains an error or omission, the available remedy is compensation for the loss caused by that mistake. This financial redress addresses the harm the aggrieved party suffers from the incorrect or missing entry. Disciplinary actions against the registrar or a private settlement with the seller do not provide the direct remedy for the claimant’s loss that the statutory compensation does.
