164. In the 15 months following 1 January 1994, consultation of the register of personal and movable real rights does not grant exemption from consultation, where applicable, of the register of transfers of property in stock, the register of farm and forest pledges, the register of commercial pledges and the index of names.
The registrar who is depositary of the registers or who was qualified to make entries therein may, during that period, issue certified statements of subsisting rights in respect of rights created before 1 January 1994, and may process applications for reduction or cancellation pertaining to such rights.
Before the expiry of that period, the registrar entrusted with the register of personal and movable real rights is bound to issue a certified statement of the rights entered in the register only if such rights were published after 31 December 1993 or if the registration of those rights is the result of a renewal made in accordance with section 157.
