Paragraph 2 provides that no indemnity is payable on account of any mines or minerals, or the existence of any right to work or get mines or minerals, unless it is noted in the register of title that the registered estate includes mines and minerals. 254.Paragraph 5 provides that if the applicant can show that one or more of three conditions applies, the applicant is entitled to be registered as the new proprietor of the estate. Section 56(3) of the 1925 Act makes anyone who lodges a caution without reasonable cause liable to any person who has suffered damage thereby. The Act adopts a double strategy. This exception is as at present. The sub-paragraph is wider than section 28 as it protects not only those suffering mental disability but also those who are so physically impaired that they cannot communicate their decision. Such first tenant liability has been abolished for leases granted after 1995 by the Landlord and Tenant (Covenants) Act 1995. If electronic conveyancing is to maximise the savings and benefits for the user, however, it must become the only system. At present there is an offence concerned with the suppression of documents and facts relating to title in proceedings before the registrar or court and one concerning the fraudulent procurement of changes to the register or to any land or charge certificate. 168.Section 105 gives the registrar power to provide, or to arrange the provision of, such consultancy and advisory services as he sees fit, and enables him to negotiate appropriate fees for those services. Section 77 considerably develops this, by providing that a person must not exercise the right to apply for an entry to be added to the register of someone elses title, or for the entry of a notice or object to someone elses application unreasonably and if they do so, they owe a duty to anyone who suffers damage. As now, the registrar will not provide legal advice. 246.Paragraph 10 provides that the registrar may provide, or arrange the provision of, education and training in relation to the use of a land registry network. the registered estate), but also the powers of the sub-chargee in relation to the property subject to the sub-charge ( i.e. Commencement orders may bring all provisions into force, or may bring only certain provisions into force. Lastly, where the registration is of the ownership of a sub-charge, then the entry must be made in relation to the registered charge which is subject to the sub-charge. If, however, an applicant meets the criteria laid down in rules, the registrar must enter into an agreement with him (and paragraph 4 provides for appeals against refusal of access). At present, the registrar is then required to enter a bankruptcy inhibition. Settlements are not very common and after 1996 the creation of new settlements under the Settled Land Act 1925 has not been possible, so, in time, settlements will disappear. Easement: a right the benefit of which is had by land, and which burdens other land, for example, a right of way over a shared driveway or a right to use private drains. Under this section a squatter can defend an action for possession of the land if the day before the action was brought he or she was entitled: to apply under paragraph 1 of Schedule 6 and the third condition (reasonable mistake as to boundary) would have been satisfied, Because the defences under this section are additional to any other defences a squatter may have. leases for 21 years or less and rights of access across the land), and minor interests which only bind if they are protected by some entry in the register (e.g. In each list they will be reduced in scope. In each of these cases, an equity arises by estoppel, to which the legislation should be able to give effect by registering the squatter as owner of the registered estate in place of the existing proprietor. People occupying the Land: Other people who may be interested in the land are people who have lived on the land for a long time. Customary rights are rights which have their origins in feudal times and are enjoyed by all or some of the inhabitants of a particular locality. The buyer discovers that he or she has no title to the land. 135.The type of requirement that is being disapplied by this section is that which provides that a transfer of registered land by the Duchy of Cornwall needs to be enrolled in the Duchy office within six months after it is made to be valid and effectual against the Duke of Cornwall. 232.Paragraph 3 relates to rectification cases only. 101.This provision is new. This exception will not often apply and will only occur when the lease in question has not been registered and the person to whom the lease was granted was for some other reason already in occupation. The rules are likely to require the disclosure of other information that a registered proprietor might not wish to have disclosed, such as the fact that a right to determine a registered estate in land has become exercisable. Compulsory registration came into force in the 1980-1990 or even later in some counties of Scotland. Public access to the index and folios is limited to individuals who have an account with the Property Registration Authority. First, rules may make provision for the entry in the register of a registered proprietor as the proprietor of an unregistered legal estate which subsists for the benefit of a registered estate. It is the means by which an electronic document can be authenticated as that of the party making it. 38.Where a person applies to be registered as proprietor of a freehold estate, he or she may (as now) be registered with an absolute, qualified or possessory title. Section 60 for the first time incorporates the general boundary principle into statute, and provides for rules to be made in relation to the fixing of boundaries. 192.This section, amongst other things, provides for the possibility that where an entry in the register relating to the legal estate refers to a document kept by the registrar which is not an original (for example, a document setting out restrictive covenants which purports to be a full copy of the original) the document may not be an accurate copy of the original. Examples of demesne lands of the Crown are: most foreshore, land which has escheated to it and its ancient lands which have never been granted as a freehold estate. They will not then cease to have effect but a first registered proprietor or a purchaser under a registered disposition will only be bound by them if they are the subject of a notice in the register. 290.Paragraph 8 states that the adjudicator is to be under the supervision of the Council on Tribunals. 307.Paragraph 4 provides that section 56(3) of the 1925 Act shall still apply to cautions against dealings. The provisions of the Act relating to restrictions will apply to restrictions and inhibitions entered under the Land Registration Act 1925 (Schedule 12, paragraph 2(2)). It can be given in the case of a defective title, if the defect will not cause the holding to be challenged. Such a squatter will have become entitled to be registered as proprietor of an estate under section 75. education and training in relation to the use of the Land Registry Network (schedule 5 paragraph 10). It is these rights that may be the subject of court proceedings which ultimately give rise to an alteration in the register. This provision is new. The legal estate reverts to the person transferring it (who then, however, holds it on a trust for the intended recipient). First, the electronic document must record the time and date when it takes effect to fix the time at which it operates. These are: a franchise (a grant from the Crown such as the right to hold a market or fair, or to take tolls; this provision enables franchises to be protected by registration, rather than by means of a notice or caution); and. It is therefore proposed to bring paragraph 5(4) into force one year after the rest of Schedule 6. There might be a case where the squatter had been in adverse possession of unregistered land for more than ten but less than twelve years, the title was then registered and the other requirements of the third condition are met. Additionally, the register relating to the adjoining title will be amended to show that the owner of that land has the benefit of the right of way contained in the deed of grant. So, for example, it would not be possible to enter a restriction against the assignment of a lease granted for a term of seven years or less, since the title to such a lease cannot ordinarily be registered. Land is also regarded as being in possession of the proprietor if it is in the possession of a person who is entitled to be registered as proprietor. The entry is to be made against the registered estate or registered charge that is said to be burdened. Information: It is currently expected that the majority of the provisions of the Land Registration Act 2002 will come into force on Monday 13 October 2003, although the e-conveyancing sections will not become operational for some time. This requires registration of a conveyance of a freehold estate, a grant of a lease of more than 21 years, and an assignment of leasehold land with more than 21 years to run. There is no mechanism for warning off cautions against first registration. 68.Under the proposals on electronic conveyancing, it will not be possible to create or transfer many interests in registered land expressly except by simultaneously registering them or protecting them by a notice in the register. 96.Section 49 deals with the existing legal doctrine of tacking. There are a number of ways in which companies can validly execute documents. 185.To put the matter beyond doubt, this section confirms the proprietary status of an equity arising by estoppel in relation to registered land. Each title also has its own unique title number. Franchises and manorial rights are the categories of interests most commonly found. Subsection (5)(c) exempts local land charges. In the absence of a fee simple, Her Majesty cannot register demesne land, since only estates in land are registrable. 160.Under this section a squatter can defend an action for possession of the land if the day before the action was brought he or she was entitled: to apply under paragraph 1 of Schedule 6 and the third condition (reasonable mistake as to boundary) would have been satisfied (subsection (1); or to apply under paragraph 6 of that Schedule (subsection (3)). Previously no notice would have been given to those chargees as the entry of the details of the statutory charge into the register does not change the priority order that existed before the entry was made. The essence of the present law is that the priority of interests in registered land is normally determined by the date of their creation, regardless of whether or not they are protected in the register. Indemnity: payment to a person who has suffered loss in relation to the matters set out in paragraph 1 of Schedule 8, for example, where there is a mistake in a register. For example, the priority of a right of pre-emption might be protected by a notice while a restriction might be entered to ensure that the registered proprietor first offers to sell the land to the grantee of the right before he or she contracts to sell it to anybody else. After 1996 it has not been possible to create a new settlement. This means that it can be protected by entry of notice in the register, or, where the claimant is in actual occupation of the affected land, as an interest whose priority is automatically protected without the need for registration. Rules may regulate the terms on which access is authorised under paragraph 2. When an applicant seeks first registration of title, whether or not he is bound by an existing interest has already been determined under the principles of unregistered conveyancing. They are both incorporeal rights of such a nature that the existence of a lease of them may not be apparent unless the lease affected is registered. It makes one change to the current law. 203.Paragraph (b), however, extends the scope of the land that may be registered to land covered by internal waters which are adjacent to England or Wales and which are specified for the purpose by order made by the Lord Chancellor. Registered charge: a type of mortgage to secure the re-payment of money or the performance of an obligation. However, the Land Registration Act 1925made registration compulsory and it was gradually phased in until by 1990 any transfer of land or property triggered the need to register it at the Land Registry. The Act will replace cautions against dealings, inhibitions, existing notices and restrictions with notices and restrictions. in respect of a registered disposition, the squatter was immediately before the coming into force of section 97 entitled to be registered as the proprietor of an estate under section 75 (Schedule 12, paragraph 11). When did compulsory registration start? 4 When title must be registered (1) The requirement of registration applies on the occurrence of any of the following events (a) the transfer of a qualifying estate (i) for valuable or other. The current land registration system began in 1875 under the Land Transfer Act 1875. It is the means by which an electronic document can be authenticated as that of the party making it. So, for example, it would not be possible to enter a restriction against the assignment of a lease granted for a term of seven years or less, since the title to such a lease cannot ordinarily be registered. If this is done then it will be necessary to make consequential amendments (and possibly transitional provisions). Under section 6 of that Act, a person making a disposition is not liable under the covenants implied by the Act for anything that was within the prior knowledge of the person to whom the disposition was made. 283.Paragraph 6 There is no restriction on the type of loss that is recoverable by a claimant. Any other rentcharges created before 22 August 1977 will (if not already extinguished) be extinguished on 22 July 2037. 296.The substitutions of paragraphs 4 and 5(2) of Schedule 9A to the 1985 Act are intended to have the effect of replacing the existing provisions with similar but clearer provisions. The current certification methods are also likely to change and develop. a legal estate which has registered title and is not a registered charge, must be entered on a register. 4.The Crown is the only absolute owner of land in England and Wales: all others hold an estate in land. Initially registration was voluntary. If the disposition is not registered within the required time, it becomes void as regards the transfer or creation of a legal estate or mortgage. Rules may specify the circumstances in which the court is under a duty to order the alteration of the register in situations where the alteration does not prejudicially affect the title of the registered proprietor, i.e. Where a company creates a legal charge over its property, that charge will not only be registrable under the Act, but it will also be required to be registered under the Companies Act 1985. The following is a summary of the contents of the Act: This section continues the requirement for a register of title to be kept, under the responsibility of the Chief Land Registrar. Rules permit those with an interest to apply for boundaries to be fixed. Manorial rights are a very specific category of rights granted before 1926 and include a tenants right of common and a lords sporting rights. This case will be dealt with by timed implementation. Under section 56(3) any person who lodges a caution without reasonable cause is liable to pay such compensation as may be just to any person who may sustain damage from such lodging. Section 94 of the 1925 Act, which relates to tacking and further advances, is amended to make the regime under section 49 of the Act applicable to all charges over registered land and for the scheme under section 94 to apply to all other charges. S, a squatter, goes into adverse possession of the land during As lifetime and remains there. This section sets out those dispositions of registered land that must be completed by registration if they are to operate at law. The notes below only deal with the extent to which to the interests listed in Schedule 3 differ in nature from those that bind on a first registration. The number of dispositions that must be registered is extended, in particular by reducing the length of registrable leases from more than 21 to more than seven years, with a power to reduce it further. When an application for registration is successful, in the case of a squatter in respect of a registered freehold, he or she is registered as proprietor of a new freehold title and the existing freehold title is closed insofar as it relates to the land squatted upon. It is likely that solicitors and licensed conveyancers will wish to review their procedures for taking instructions from their clients to ensure that electronic signatures are properly authorised, as a matter of proper professional practice. The section therefore provides that any transfer of, or the grant or reservation of any legal estate out of, registered land, is a registrable disposition. This is relevant for the purposes of section 136(1) of the Law of Property Act 1925, which requires notice to be in writing. The land register (nekilnojamojo turto registras) contains factual data (area, height, volume, year of construction and owner name) and legal data (agreements of joint ownership, court rulings, easement, mortgages) on immovable property such as land and buildings. So where a section or part of a section does not seem to require any explanation or comment, none is given. The section specifically provides that a document varying the priority order of registered charges is included within the dispositions of registered charges covered by the section. When the court order is served on the registrar, it places him under a duty to give effect to it in the register of title. This would be expected to involve handling disputes as to whether the registrar acted properly when deciding that an applicant did not meet the criteria for the level of access sought or in relation to the termination of an agreement. The Act applies, by virtue of. The Act therefore changes the law by making it no longer possible to register a manor. 12.Some of the benefits of electronic conveyancing can only be maximised if it is used universally. What happens if you fail to register land? Sub-paragraph (4) widens the meaning of a registered estate in land for the purpose of this paragraph to make it clear that it includes any registered estate which exists for the benefit of the proprietors estate in land, such as an easement. Qualified title is extremely rare but it might be appropriate, where, for example, the transfer to the applicant had been in breach of trust. They will not then cease to have effect but a first registered proprietor or a purchaser under a registered disposition will only be bound by them if they are the subject of a notice in the register. When the court order is served on the registrar, it places him under a duty to give effect to it in the register of title. Section 25 enables rules to be made which prescribe a single form of charge for the future. The section lists a number of matters which may be covered by the rules. The system of priority searching means that any entry made on a register during the priority period of a search will be postponed to a subsequent application to register the instrument effecting the purchase. Although the point is not finally settled, the weight of authority favours firmly the view that Bs right or inchoate equity which arises after he has acted to his detriment but before the court can make an order giving effect to it is a proprietary, and not merely a personal right. It will not give him or her any greater rights than he or she had expected to receive.
