55. Whenever letters patent have been issued to or in the name of the wrong party, through mistake in the Department, or contain any clerical error or misnomer, or wrong description of the land thereby intended to be granted, the Minister (there being no adverse claim) may direct such defective letters patent to be cancelled and correct ones to be issued in their stead.

Such corrected letters patent shall relate back to the date of those so cancelled, and have the same effect as if issued at the date of such cancelled letters patent.

If the correction can be easily made in the letters patent without cancelling them, the Minister may do so and notify the Registrar of Québec thereof, in order that such correction be so made in the registration of said letters patent.

The authority of the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food is substituted for that of the Minister of Energy and Resources in the case of letters patent issued for colonization purposes before the 19th of March, 1921.
