I am informed by the Registrar of Titles that this is an application under section 49 — that is, acquisition of title by virtue of long possession — of the Registration of Titles Act 1964, which was lodged on 21 January 2004. Dealing No. D2004CR000578U 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. Accordingly, it is not possible to estimate a completion date at this stage. However, I can assure the Deputy that this application is receiving attention in the Land Registry.
