§ 422. Reference of doubtful matters to the court. When the registrar is in doubt, and the parties in interest fail to agree as to the proper memorial to be made in the title book of any deed, mortgage or other voluntary instrument presented for registration, the questions shall be referred to the court for decision, either on the certificate of the registrar stating the question, or upon the suggestion in writing of any party or parties in interest; and the court, after due notice to all parties in interest, and a hearing, if necessary or proper, shall enter an order prescribing the form of the memorial to be made by the registrar, who shall make the memorial accordingly. In any judicial proceeding affecting property, the title to which is then a registered title, the court upon the application in writing of any party or parties in interest after due notice to all other parties in interest and a hearing, if necessary or proper, shall enter an order prescribing the form of any memorial that should be made by the registrar in the title book because or as the result of such proceeding; and the registrar, upon the production of a certified copy of such order, shall make the proper memorial in accordance with such order. After making such memorial in the title book the registrar shall also make all other memorials on existing certificates or make and deliver any new certificates according to the circumstances and in the manner required herein.
