As the Act now replaces and (in this schedule) repeals some of the provisions referred to in schedule 12, the relevant paragraphs of schedule12 fall to be repealed in turn. Of the repeals listed, only the following do not come into the category just described:
Paragraph 7(6): As section 14 of the Land Registers (Scotland) Act 1868 does not relate to entails it should not cease to have effect.
Paragraph 9(4)(d)(ii): This is a minor drafting change.
Paragraph 30(6)(d)(ii): The words repealed are replaced by paragraph 4 of schedule 13 to the Act.
Paragraph 39(3)(c): The words repealed are replaced by paragraph 7(3) of schedule 13 to the Act.
Paragraph 39(6)(b): The words repealed are replaced by paragraph 7(5) of schedule 13 to the Act.
610.Schedule 13 to the 2000 Act contains repeals resulting from feudal abolition and the other reforms dealt with in the Act. As the Act now replaces and (in this schedule) repeals some of the provisions referred to in schedule 13, the relevant parts of schedule 13 fall to be repealed in turn. The only repeal not falling into this category is of words in section 3(6) of the Land Registration (Scotland) Act 1979. Section 3(6) is not repealed by the Act but it is re-cast by schedule 13 paragraph 7(3) in a way which supersedes the original repeal.
