Regulation 4 of the Land Transfer Regulations 2002 specifies those classes of instruments and covers deposit documents and the classes of permissible instruments set out in Schedule 1 of those regulations. The effect of this order is that, on and after 23 February 2009, lawyers and conveyancers who wish to lodge such instruments will have to lodge them electronically, using the Landonline system.
