The LA Act 1894 says in sec51:
"51. Exemption from stamp duty and fees. - No award or agreement made under this Act shall be chargeable with stamp duty, and no person claiming under any such award or agreement shall be liable to pay any fee for a copy of the same."
It only says that any award or agreement made under this Act is exempt from stamp Duty and Fees. It does not say that such award or agreement is exempt from registration or in otherwords not registrable.
Therefore the question arises as to which of the many non-testamentary instruments generated in the LA process by the LAO or the govt or court are registrable?
