Land Registration Act 2002 (Protection of Third Party Interests)

The Land Registration Act 2002 (LRA 2002) comes into force on 13 October 2003 and amongst other things, radically changes the procedures and methods by which third party rights in land are protected. The principle changes are:

The system of Notices is extended so that there are two types of Notice, being "Agreed Notices" and "Unilateral Notices".
Cautions against Dealings are abolished.
Restrictions are retained as the only method to reflect a limitation on the power of the registered owner of the property to make dispositions.
Inhibitions are abolished.
