Land Registration (Scotland) Rules 2006 (SSI 2006/485)
The third item on the agenda is subordinate legislation. The Land Registration (Scotland) Rules 2006 (SSI 2006/485) will consolidate the Land Registration (Scotland) Rules 1980 to enable the modernisation of practice and procedure, particularly with regard to use of electronic communications, in the making up and keeping of the land register for Scotland and applications for registration. The rules will not introduce new policy or a new form of regulation but will, rather, make changes to existing practices. The Subordinate Legislation Committee had no substantive comments to make on the instrument.
The instrument represents a welcome reorganisation of the system.
Is the committee content with the rules?
The committee will not therefore make any recommendation on the rules in its report to Parliament. Do members agree?
