(1) State grants of land in Fiji shall be grants in fee simple. Every grant in addition to proper words of description shall contain a diagram of the land. Each State grant shall be prepared in duplicate and shall be delivered by the Director of Lands to the Registrar, who shall register the grant in manner hereinafter provided and deliver the duplicate to the proprietor named therein.
(2) The Minister may issue a State grant of any whole island in any part of Fiji without a diagram of such island being contained in such State grant, provided that—
  • (a)whenever any such island has been accurately surveyed and laid down on charts, maps or plans, the Director of Lands shall call in the duplicate State grant and add thereto a plan or diagram of the island and also add the same to the original State grant in the register, and the Registrar shall produce such original State grant for that purpose; and
  • (b)where any such island has been transferred before it has been accurately surveyed and laid down on charts, maps or plans the provisions of this section with regard to adding the plan or diagram to the State grant shall equally apply to the certificate of title in the name of the first or any subsequent transferee.
