Land Registration Act 2002 Explanatory Notes

Interest

286.Paragraph 9 makes provision for the payment of interest, which is not found expressly in existing legislation. Rules can be made to deal with the circumstances in which interest is payable, and the period and rates of interest that are to be paid. It is likely that the rules will provide for the payment of interest from the date of a mistake where the maximum sum recovered in respect of the loss of an estate, interest or charge is taken to be its value at the date when the mistake was made (see paragraph 6).
