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 11 December 2003. Dealing number D2003WS012236J refers.
I understand that due 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 this application is associated with an application for a duplicate land certificate which was lodged on 22 December 2003. Application No. S2003WS002034M refers. I am also informed that the duplicate land certificate application is dependent on the completion of D2003WS012236J which was lodged prior to S2003WS002034M. I am further informed that queries, in relation to dealing number D2003WS012236J, issued to the lodging solicitors on 24 February 2004 and that application cannot proceed until these 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.
