The Gazette 1944-46

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.
