Part 1: Registration of Overseas Entities Removal Section 10: Processing of application under section 9
This section explains how applications under section 9 are processed. Subsection (1) places an obligation on the Registrar to verify with the relevant land registry of the UK that the entity making an application under section 9 has registered as the proprietor with a relevant interest in that land. The Registrar must remove the overseas entity if it is not registered as the proprietor of the relevant interest in land, under subsection (2). If the overseas entity is the registered proprietor, the registrar must refuse the application according to subsection (3). Subsection (4) requires the Registrar to send a notice to the overseas entity, communicating the outcome of the application and the date the removal will come into effect, if successful. Subsection (5) places an obligation on the Registrar to record the date of removal of the overseas entity from the register.
	The effect of being removed from the list of registered overseas entities is that an overseas entity will no longer be required to comply with the updating duty and the entry on the register relating to that entity will be comprised of historic information previously provided, until such time as those records are transferred to the Public Record Office (see section 11). An overseas entity that has been removed from the list of registered overseas entities would have to reapply to register in the event that it chooses to be listed on the register again in the future or where it is required to do so in order to register title to land in the UK.
