340. (1) Whenever any letters patent are incomplete, or contain any clerical error or incorrect name, or an incorrect description of the land granted, the Minister, if there be no claim to the contrary, may order that the faulty letters patent be cancelled and replaced by new ones duly corrected.
(2) Such corrected letters patent shall bear the same date as those cancelled, and shall have the same effect as if they had been issued on the date of issue of the cancelled letters patent.
(3) If the correction can be made easily on the letters patent without cancelling them, the Minister may do so and give notice thereof to the Provincial Registrar in order that such correction may also be made in the registration of such letters patent.
