accordance with the Land Registration Act 1925'; and in section 50 (3) of the Land Registration Act 1925 (which provides for the alteration of the register where a covenant or agreement is discharged or modified by an order under the Law of Property Act 1925 and in other cases) for the words ' or modified ' there shall be substituted the words ' modified or dealt with '".
§ THE LORD CHANCELLORMy Lords, I beg to move that this House doth agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 20. May I at the same time refer also to Amendment No. 25. These Amendments ensure that the registration of Orders of the Court or the Lands Tribunal under Section 84 of the Law of Property Act 1925 relating to restrictive covenants affecting registered land is effected in accordance with the Land Registration Act 1925 and the rules and practice governing the procedure under that Act.
The Amendments also have the effect of removing a possible inconsistency between two statutory provisions governing the registration of these Orders; namely, Section 84 (8) of the Law of Property Act 1925, and Section 50 (3) of the Land Registration Act 1925. The first Amendment, which adds a further subsection to Clause 26, is the operative Amendment. The amendment of Schedule 2 is consequential. It makes the appropriate alteration in the amended Section 84 set out in the Schedule. Your Lordships will see that this is all largely administrative and is really simply to clarify the practice. My Lords, I beg to move.
§ Moved, That this House doth agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 20.—(The Lord Chancellor.)
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
