RC 08/2018 De-linking of batches on prep
1. Purpose
To provide guidance to examiners and conveyancers on de-linking of deeds at prep.
2. Background
At the OPS meeting held on 6 August 2014 a decision was taken not to allow the delinking of deeds from batches at prep. This was followed up with a Notice to conveyancers dated 08/04/2014, informing conveyancers of the decision.
In order to:
this decision must be contained in a Registrar's circular.
- Formalise the process;
- Ensure consistent application of the decision
- Combat the chaos ensuing from de-linking of deeds without anyone accepting responsibility for correctly re-numbering the batch in pencil
this decision must be contained in a Registrar's circular.
3. Process to be followed
General Rule: De-linking of deeds will not be allowed at any tracking point anymore. The whole batch must be withdrawn and re-lodged if problems are encountered with a part of the batch.
Exception to the Rule
De-linking of deeds due to an examiners note can be accommodated if the batch has been re-linked by the examiner who examined the batch and the unnecessary endorsements have been crossed out.
4. Effective Date
This circular will be effective immediately (18 October 2018)
