This Act concerns validation of an unauthorized instrument executed by the Governor in respect of any land, any power, right, indemnity or waiver which that instrument purports to confer or grant.

Nothing in the above rule shall be construed so as to cure any defect in the title to any land or to confirm, validate or secure the title to any land otherwise or to any greater extent than in accordance with that rule.
