Conveyancing and Feudal Reform (Scotland) Act 1970

Exercise of right of redemption.

11 (1) The debtor shall be entitled to exercise his right of redemption under this Act on giving two months' notice of his intention so to do, being a notice in writing (hereinafter referred to as a " notice of redemption ").

(2) Nothing in the provisions of the foregoing sub-paragraph shall preclude a creditor from waiving the necessity for a notice of redemption, or from agreeing to a period of notice of less than two months.

(3) (a) A notice of redemption may be delivered to the creditor or sent by registered post or recorded delivery to him at his last known address, and an acknowledgment signed by the creditor or his agent or a certificate of postage by the person giving the notice accompanied by the postal receipt shall be sufficient evidence of such notice having been given.

(b) If the address of the creditor is not known, or if the packet containing the notice of redemption is returned to the sender with intimation that it could not be delivered, a notice of redemption may be sent to the Extractor of the Court of Session and an acknowledgment of receipt by him shall be sufficient evidence of such notice having been given.

(c) A notice of redemption sent by post shall be held to have been given on the day next after the day of posting.

(4) When a notice of redemption states that a specified amount will be repaid, and it is subsequently ascertained that the whole amount due to be repaid is more or less than the amount specified in the notice, the notice shall nevertheless be effective as a notice of repayment of the amount due as subsequently ascertained.

(5) On payment of the whole amount due, or on performance of the whole obligations of the debtor under the contract to which the security relates, the creditor shall grant a discharge in the terms prescribed in section 17 of this Act.
