Procedure as to Registration.

1.—(1) An application for the registration of particulars in respect of a holding must be in the prescribed form, and there must be furnished to the Board of Trade therewith a statement in the prescribed form, and verified in such manner by statutory declaration or otherwise as the Board may reclaim, of all the circumstances of the holding relevant to tie matters specified in paragraphs (a) to (d) of subsection (4) or Section one of this Act, including, as regards the matters specified in the said paragraph (d)—

(a) in the case of a holding consisting of a freehold or leasehold reversion, the terms of the lease or underlease on which that reversion is immediately expectant:

2.—(1) The Board shall examine an application duly made for the registration of particulars in respect of a holding with respect to the following matters, that is to say,—

  1. (a) whether all the property and rights, of which particulars are sought to be registered as being held in association with any coal or a mine to which the application relates, are property and rights that would have vested therewith on such a conveyance as is mentioned in the Second Schedule to this Act, and whether any other property or rights that would have vested on such a conveyance as aforesaid are held in association with any such coal or mine;
  2. (b) whether all the servitudes, restrictive covenants and other matters, of which particulars are sought to be registered as being matters subject to which any coal hereditaments to which the application relates are held, are matters subject to which they would have vested on such a conveyance as aforesaid, and whether they are held subject to any other such matters;

(5) When copies of a draft have been sent under the last preceding sub-paragraph and either no application has been made to the Court thereunder within the time therein mentioned or any application so made has been disposed of by the Court, the Board shall register in respect of the holding the particulars as specified in the draft or as varied by the Court, as the case may require.

3.—(1) …

(2) Where after any such information has been given to the Board any material change takes place in the circumstances as to which the information was given, it shall be the duty of the person by whom the application was made and of any other person having a proprietary interest comprised in the holding, forthwith to inform the Board of the change, if it is known to him and unless he has ascertained that information of the change has already been given to the Board.

4. Subject to the preceding provisions of this Schedule, the Board may make rules prescribing the procedure to be followed in giving effect to the provisions of Section one of this Act.
