Practice question
Two years after entry of a registration decree, a person seeks section 32 reopening for actual fraud and says discovery last week automatically restarts that provision’s one-year clock. No different ground or remedy is invoked. Which is correct?
- Every discovery restarts section 32 indefinitely
- The petition is timely because all fraud remedies have identical periods
- All possible claims of every kind necessarily disappear forever
- The court must ignore the entry date
- The special reopening period runs from decree entry and has expired on these facts; any distinct available remedy requires its own legal analysis
