THE LAND REGISTRY.
The following note is published at the request of the
Registrar of Titles.. It hvs not been considered by
the Council.
THE attention of the Legal profession is directed
to the fact that new Land Registration Rules,
(supplemental to the existing 1037 Rules) and a
new Fee Order came into operation on the 1st
June, and legal practitioners should make them
selves acquainted with the provisions thereof.
An internal re-organisation is taking place in
the Registry which, in conjunction with the Rules
and the Fee Order above mentioned, is designed
to facilitate and expedite the work of registration.
Solicitors are requested to note that as from the
1st June :—
(a)
All Fees must be assessed by the Solicitors
and paid at the time of lodgment of deal
ings. The Fees can be readily ascertained
from the Table appended to the new Fee
Order. The practice of accepting under
takings for payment of fees heretofore in
force has been abolished by the 1944
Rules.
(h)
The dealings, when presented in the Reg
istry, will be subjected to a preliminary
scrutiny by legal clerks, and if they reveal
obvious defects they will be rejected with
a note of such defects. It is only when the
documents are
prima facie
in order that
they will be officially accepted and referred
to the professional staff for examination.
A memorandum on certain matters of
Law and Practice in relation to Registra
tion has been prepared by the Registrar
and has been issued to legal practitioners.
This Memorandum deals largely with the
prevalent errors and omissions which, in
the experience of the Registry, have been
responsible for the holding up of business.
It is desirable that country practitioners should
forward the necessary documents in relation to
Registration to their town agents for lodgment in
the Central Office rather than send them by post.
By doing so considerable delay will be avoided.
It is in the interests of solicitors and their clients
to have strict regard to the Rules and to the
several matters dealt with in the Memorandum.
