I am informed by the Registrar of Titles that this is an application under section 49 — i.e. acquisition of title by virtue of long possession — of the Registration of Title Act 1964 which was lodged on 5 November 2002. Dealing No. D2002XS010659W refers.
I understand that, owing to their complicated nature, applications under section 49, which require detailed examination of claims for registration as owners, can take some time to process.
I am further informed that queries were issued to the lodging solicitors on 7 May 2004 and that the application cannot proceed until those queries have been satisfactorily resolved.
However, I can assure the Deputy that, on receipt of a satisfactory reply, the matter will receive further attention in the Land Registry.
