20. The registrar of civil status is not bound to make, on acts of birth, marriage or death and on certificates of civil status which he issues, the notations provided for in articles 134 and 135 of the new Code if the events from which such notations result occurred prior to 1 January 1994.

He publishes deaths occurring before 1 January 1994 by means of copies of acts of death and certificates and attestations of death based on the acts of burial drawn up under the former legislation, and by means of attestations of death made under the Public Health Protection Act (chapter P-35) and described as declarations by the former legislation. In cases of divergence between the attestation of death and the act of burial, the latter prevails.
