Whole provisions yet to be inserted into this Instrument (including any effects on those provisions):
136.—(1) A person may apply for the registrar to designate a relevant document an exempt information document if he claims that the document contains prejudicial information.
[F1(2) Subject to rule 132(1), an application under paragraph (1) must be made in Form EX1 and EX1A and include a copy of the relevant document which—
(a)excludes the prejudicial information,
(b)includes the words “excluded information” where the prejudicial information has been excluded, and
(c)is certified as being a true copy of the relevant document, except that it does not include the prejudicial information and includes the words required by sub-paragraph (b).]
(3) Subject to paragraph (4), provided that the registrar is satisfied that the applicant's claim is not groundless he must designate the relevant document an exempt information document.
(4) Where the registrar considers that designating the document an exempt information document could prejudice the keeping of the register, he may cancel the application.
(5) Where a document is an exempt information document, the registrar may make an appropriate entry in the individual register of any affected registered title.
(6) Where a document is an exempt information document and a further application is made under paragraph (1) which would, but for the existing designation, have resulted in its being so designated, the registrar must prepare another edited information document which excludes—
(a)the information excluded from the existing edited information document, and
(b)any further information excluded from the edited information document lodged by the applicant.
(7) In this rule a “relevant document” is a document—
(a)referred to in the register of title, or one that relates to an application to the registrar, the original or a copy of which is kept by the registrar, or
(b)that will be referred to in the register of title as a result of an application (the “accompanying application”) made at the same time as an application under this rule, or that relates to the accompanying application, the original or a copy of which will be or is for the time being kept by the registrar.
