422 - Reference of doubtful matters to the court.

 
    §  422. Reference of doubtful matters to the court. When the registrar
  is in doubt, and the parties in interest fail to agree as to the  proper
  memorial  to  be  made  in the title book of any deed, mortgage or other
  voluntary instrument presented for registration, the questions shall  be
  referred  to  the  court  for decision, either on the certificate of the
  registrar stating the question, or upon the suggestion in writing of any
  party or parties in interest; and the court, after  due  notice  to  all
  parties  in interest, and a hearing, if necessary or proper, shall enter
  an order prescribing the  form  of  the  memorial  to  be  made  by  the
  registrar,  who  shall  make  the  memorial accordingly. In any judicial
  proceeding affecting property, the title to which is then  a  registered
  title, the court upon the application in writing of any party or parties
  in  interest  after  due  notice  to all other parties in interest and a
  hearing, if necessary or proper, shall enter an  order  prescribing  the
  form  of  any memorial that should be made by the registrar in the title
  book because or as the result of such  proceeding;  and  the  registrar,
  upon  the  production  of a certified copy of such order, shall make the
  proper memorial in accordance  with  such  order.    After  making  such
  memorial  in  the  title  book  the  registrar shall also make all other
  memorials  on  existing  certificates  or  make  and  deliver  any   new
  certificates  according  to the circumstances and in the manner required
  herein.
