The Land Registration Act 2002 was an inadequate replication of the Torrens system because it is impossible to implement the same system across very different social contexts

Title registers have a future-oriented outlook and effectively overlook the history of interests in respect of land

Land registration systems are not value neutral, and can only really capture interests in land that already conform to the property logics of those who have designed the systems

Title registers make it much easier to examine the history of title to land and accurately account for previous relationships to land

The indemnity principle that underpins the Torrens system makes it much easier for First Nations’ claims relating to the unintended and mistaken extinguishment of their interests by the central Land Registry to be remedied
