                                  REASONS FOR ORDER

HUGESSEN J.

[1]    This is a consent motion for judgment.

[2]    In the Draft Order submitted the last sentence of Paragraph 6 reads as follows:


This Court orders that the Land Registrar for the Land Registry Office for the Land Titles Division of Niagara South (No. 59) accept this Order for registration against the title to the lands described in this paragraph 6.

[3]    Notwithstanding counsel's submission to the contrary, I am not persuaded that s. 56 of the Federal Court Act provides the necessary statutory grant of jurisdiction to allow this Court to give an Order of this sort to a provincial official. If that official considers the Order to be in form and content proper for registration under the applicable provincial rules he will no doubt accept it for registration. If, on the other hand, he is of the opposite view this Court does not have the authority (or even the technical expertise) to order him to do so.

[4]    I have accordingly deleted the sentence in question.

                                                                                                                                                                                         

                                                                                                           Judge
