General provision about applications
Section 33: Recording in application record
104.Subsection (1) recognises that the Land Register application record closes at the end of each business day and that where applications for registration are made after this, the effective date of application will be the next day that the application record opens.
Section 34: Withdrawal and amendments etc. of application
105.This section provides for the so-called “one-shot principle”: that an application cannot be supplemented or substituted after the date of application unless the Keeper consents. Detailed provision can be made in the Land Register rules for that consent.
Section 35: Period within which decision must be made
106.This section allows Scottish Ministers to set turn-around times for the Keeper to deal with applications in the Land Register rules.
