Many requisitions are sent because of very basic or clerical errors, or the blindingly obvious (such as misspelled or missing names; undated or unexecuted deeds; omission of essential documents such as a power of attorney or death certificate; discrepancies between names/spellings in documents and application forms (which go to the issue of identity and so could be an indication of fraud), or variations between the parties named in the documents and those appearing in the register; certificates or consents required under the terms of a restriction). When I was in practice, we checked the detail before sending the application off for registration - you can't recover the cost of time spent having to deal with requisitions (and the embarrassment if your application is cancelled is considerable, not to mention the potential for a negligence claim if priority is lost).
