Part 1: Registration of Overseas Entities Schedule 3: Land ownership and transactions: England and Wales Part 1: Amendments to Land Registration Act 2002 Consent to registration of dispositions that cannot otherwise be registered
Under paragraph 5(1) of the new Schedule 4A, the Secretary of State may consent to the registration of a disposition that would otherwise be incapable of registration because it would be prohibited by a restriction entered under paragraph 3, or 4. The Secretary of State must be satisfied that, at the time of the disposition, the person to whom it was made could not have known, and could not reasonably have been expected to have known, that the disposition could not be registered. The Secretary of State must also be satisfied that in all the circumstances it would be unjust for the disposition not to be registered.
	Paragraph 5(2) sets out that the Secretary of State may make regulations in connection with applications for consent under paragraph 5(1) and these regulations may, for example, set out who may apply, the evidence required to be produced, and time limits (paragraph 5(3)).
