# Chancel Repair (Church Commissioners’ Liability) Measure 2025, Section 3: Future liabilities

Extent: E

(1) Where, after the commencement of this section, the Church Commissioners acquire land and, immediately before the acquisition, a liability to repair the chancel of a church had effect as an interest in or over that land, the liability—
(a) ceases on the acquisition to have effect as such, and
(b) takes effect instead as a duty imposed on the Commissioners by this section.
(2) A liability imposed on the Church Commissioners under this section is of the same extent as it was immediately before the acquisition.
(3) Any Land Registry entry in respect of a liability to repair the chancel of a church which, but for this section, would on the acquisition have become a liability of the Church Commissioners having effect as an interest in or over land, ceases to have effect.
(4) The references to the Church Commissioners include a reference to a subsidiary of the Commissioners.
