Land Title Registration Law, 1986 (PNDCL 152)
Section 62:
(1) Rights derived from instruments recorded in the land register shall have priority according to the order in which the instruments were presented to the Registry irrespective of the dates of the instruments and notwithstanding that the entry in the land register may have been delayed.
(2) Instruments sent by post and received on any day during the hours of business shall be deemed to have been presented simultaneously immediately before the close of business on that day and instruments so sent but received between the time of closing and the next opening of the office for business shall be deemed to have been presented simultaneously immediately after such opening.
