The Land Registration (Referral to the Adjudicator to HM Land Registry) Rules 2003
Under section 73 of the Land Registration Act 2002 (“the Act”), an objection may be made to any application to the registrar. If that objection is not groundless, the registrar may not determine the application until the objection has been disposed of and, if this is not possible by agreement, section 73(7) requires the registrar to refer the matter to the adjudicator.
