5. Approval by the Engineering Department

(May 1, 2000)

When there is a new subdivision of a registered land parcel pending in the Engineering Department of the Land Court and that subdivision plan has not yet been received at the registry district for entry, no instruments may be accepted for registration against that plan until the said instruments have been first stamped for approval by the Land Court. The only exception to this policy is that once the first deed out of any lot on the subdivision has been approved by the Land Court Engineering Department and thereafter registered, no further instruments as to that particular lot need be further approved.
