Written Answers. - Registration of Title.
I am informed by the Registrar of Titles that this dealing refers to an application under section 49, that is acquisition of title by virtue of long possession, of the registration of Title Act, 1964. The application was lodged on 17 November 1999. Due to their complicated nature applications under section 49, which require detailed examination of claims for registration as owners, take some time to process.
Notices of the application were served on the next of kin of the registered owner on 20 February. If no objections are received as a result of these notices the application will receive further consideration on 21 March.
