Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Land Registration (Conduct of Business) Regulations 2000 by substituting a new table specifying the provisions in the Land Registration Rules 1925 which authorise or require acts to be done by the Registrar and which acts may, by virtue of the Land Registration (Conduct of Business) Regulations 2000, be done by the Solicitor to H.M. Land Registry or an Acting Solicitor to H.M. Land Registry or, for certain purposes, by a Deputy Solicitor to H.M. Land Registry. The effect of the substitution is to add the following provisions of the Land Registration Rules 1925 to the table: rule 300(2) (authority to grant a stay of an order or decision of the Registrar pending an appeal) and rule 300(3) (authority to limit the time for which a stay is to operate and to make it subject to conditions).
