The Land Registration Act 2002 (LRA 2002) has been in force for almost 12 years. When enacted, the legislation, which replaced the LRA 1925, was intended to offer a clear and lasting framework for the registration of title to land in England and Wales. However, confounding the hopes of its drafters, the legislation's interpretation and application has generated many unanticipated problems which require urgent attention. The extent of these problems is strikingly demonstrated by burgeoning litigation around the LRA 2002, often involving some of the knottiest issues in land law, with major financial implications turning on the outcome. This book exposes both theoretical and policy debates, and more concrete, technical controversies within the law of land registration. Wherever possible, it will also offer appropriate solutions and/or proposals for reform.

The days when title to land was always proved by the production of a bundle of deeds are long gone; today, most landowners in England and Wales have registered title to their land. That means that their ownership is recorded on a register kept by Land Registry. Entry on the register is all that is needed to prove title, and the law does not allow buyers of land (or lenders) to look behind the register at the deeds and other documents to establish their title. Furthermore, the law guarantees the correctness of the register. The terms of reference for this project was broadly stated as comprising a "wideranging review" of the LRA 2002. This Paper is divided into ten parts: Part 1 explains the project; 2 considers the registration of estates and dispositions of land; 3 considers the land registration rules on priorities which determine when and against whom a property right is Enforceable; 4 addresses the question of indefeasibility; the circumstances in which the register can be changed and when such changes trigger an entitlement to an indemnity; 5 looks at specific matters relating to easements; 6 examines the provisions of the Act on adverse possession; 7 addresses some specific issues relating to mortgages or charges over registered land; 8 considers the development of electronic conveyancing; 9 looks at the jurisdiction of the Land Registration Division of the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) and finally, in part 10 they gather together provisional proposals for reform and other questions on which the views of consultees are invited

The Land Registration Act 2002 has been in force for almost fifteen years. When enacted, the legislation, which replaced the Land Registration Act 1925, was intended to offer a clear and lasting framework for the registration of title to land in England and Wales. However, perhaps confounding the hopes of its drafters, the legislation's interpretation and application has since generated many unanticipated problems which demand attention. In this book's twenty chapters, leading land law scholars, Law Commissioners past and present, judges, and Registry lawyers unpick key technical controversies, and expose underlying theoretical and policy concerns. Core issues addressed in these chapters include: the legitimate ambitions of registration regimes; the nature and security of title afforded by registration; the resolution of priority disputes affecting registered titles; the relationship between the general law and the registration regime; and new challenges presented by modern technological developments.
