Commentary on Sections Land Registration (Scotland) Act 1979 (c.33).
557.The amendments in sub-paragraph (2) are consequential on the repeal, in schedule 15, of sections 17 and 18 of the 1979 Act.
558.For the most part sub-paragraph (3) repeats an amendment made prospectively by schedule 12 paragraph 39(3)(c) of the 2000 Act (which is repealed by schedule 15 of the Act). This is necessary because the amendment is capable of relating to Part 3 of the Act. Sub-paragraph (3) comes into force on the day after Royal Assent (section 129(3)) — and not on the appointed day, as was the position under the 2000 Act. The only addition to the earlier version of the amendment is a reference to section 41(a) of the Act. This makes clear that it is not necessary to expede a notice of title in the case of a conservation burden which is already on the Land Register.
559.Sub-paragraph (4) extends the meaning of “condition” in section 6 to include servitudes created by a deed registered under section 75(1) and rules of the development management scheme.
560.Sub-paragraph (5) amends section 12(3) of the 1979 Act to ensure that the provisions on the Keeper’s indemnity do not extend to the enforceability of sporting rights registered in the Land Register. It also extends the meaning of condition to include a rule of the development management scheme. Servitudes created under section 75 are already covered by section 12(3)(l) of the 1979 Act.
561.Sub-paragraph (6) repeats an amendment made prospectively by schedule 12 paragraph 39(6)(b) of the Abolition of Feudal Tenure etc. (Scotland) Act 2000 (which is repealed by schedule 15 of the Act). This is necessary because the amendment is capable of relating to Part 3 of the Act. Sub-paragraph (4) comes into force on the day after Royal Assent (section 129(3)) — and not on the appointed day, as was the position under the 2000 Act.
562.Sub-paragraph (7) amends section 28(1) as a consequence of the treatment of sporting rights as separate tenements under section 65A of the 2000 Act (as inserted by section 114 of the Act). As a result, a sporting right registered in the Land Register will have its own title sheet.
