Commentary on Sections Conveyancing and Feudal Reform (Scotland) Act 1970 (c.35).
552.This amendment is made necessary by (i) the repeal by schedule 15 of the Act of sections 1 and 2 of the 1970 Act, and (ii) the consequential repeal, also by schedule 15, of schedule 12 paragraph 30(6)(d)(ii) of the 2000 Act (which replaced the definition of ‘interest in land’ in section 9 of the 1970 Act with a definition of ‘real right in land’ as defined in sections 1 and 2 of the 1970 Act). The new definition is in substance the same as that introduced by the 2000 Act. The new subsection 2B is a consequence of the new section 18A introduced by section 114 of the Act. Sub-paragraphs (3) to (5) make consequential amendments to terminology.
