We make further recommendations about the rights and duties of the parties to the new mortgage, and about its regulation and enforcement. A draft Bill to implement our recommendations appears as Appendix A to this Report. 1.3 These reforms are radical in that a new simplified mortgage structure will be erected in place of the complex structure that now exists. But in making these broad recommendations affecting an important area of commercial activity, and many people’s housing, we have been careful to ensure that the essentials of the familiar mortgage system should be continued, and indeed strengthened. For a new class of “protected mortgage^",^ we recommend new safeguards for mortgagors. But in general our reforms do not envisage changes to the basic provisions of the law. Rather, those familiar rules would be presented in a way which was simpler, clearer, more logical and consistent and easily accessible than at present. Background to the Report 1.4 In 1986 we published a Working Paper3 in which we examined the defects in the present law of mortgages of interests in land. The provisional view expressed in the Working Paper was that the law was in need of simplification and modernisation and that in order to achieve this it was necessary to reconsider first, the structure of the mortgage relationship and secondly, the rights, duties, protection and remedies of the parties to the relationship, both during the security and on its enforcement. The Working Paper put forward for consideration five sets of proposals for reform. The first four, Proposals I to IV, presented four different options for structural reform. The fifth, Proposal V, contained a series of proposals relating to such matters as rights and duties of the parties and enforcement of the security, to be combined with any one of Proposals I to IV. 1.5 In response to the Working Paper we received many valuable comments on the need for reform in general, and on the particular proposals for reform we had made. A list of those who commented is set out as Appendix B. Response to the Working Paper revealed overwhelming support for our provisional view that mortgage law ought to be simplified and rationalised. It also revealed several issues which we thought merited further discussion between some of those who had commented on the Working Paper. As a further step in the consultation process we therefore held a seminar at the Commission on 3 1 July 1987 at which participants explained and discussed the views they had expressed to the By “consensually created securities” we mean all mortgages, charges and other security interests voluntarily created or granted by the mortgagor/chargor (including those deemed to have been created or granted voluntarily, in the special circumstances explained in para.

  • Adverse Possession and the Transmissibility of Possessory Rights – the Dark Side of Land Registration? Mark Pawlowski* *Barris
    Adverse Possession and the Transmissibility of Possessory Rights – The Dark Side of Land Registration? Mark Pawlowski* *Barrister, Professor of Property Law, Scholl of Law, University of Greenwich James Brown** **Barrister, Senior Lecturer in Law, Aston University It is trite law that, if unregistered land is adversely possessed for a period of 12 years, the title of the paper owner is automatically barred under s.15 of the Limitation Act 1980. Where the land is registered, however, there is no automatic barring of title by adverse possession1 – instead, after being in adverse possession for a minimum of 10 years,2 the adverse possessor can apply to be registered as the proprietor in place of the registered proprietor of the land.3 Upon receipt of such an application, the Land Registry is obliged to notify various persons interested in the land, including the registered proprietor.4 Those persons then have 65 business days5 within which to object to the registration6 and, in the absence of any objection, the adverse possessor is entitled to be registered as the new proprietor of the land. 7 In these circumstances, the registered proprietor is assumed to have abandoned the land. If, on the other hand, there is an objection, the possessor will not be registered as the proprietor unless he falls within one of the three exceptional grounds listed in paragraph 5, Schedule 6 to the Land Registration Act 2002, where: (1) it would be unconscionable for the registered proprietor to object to the application; (2) the adverse possessor is otherwise entitled to the land; or (3) if the possessor is the owner of adjacent property and has been in adverse possession of the subject land under the mistaken, but reasonable belief, that he is its owner.
