Section 15 Resumed and decrofted croftsI1
The Keeper must—
where subsection (2) applies, remove the entry in the register relating to the resumed croft;
where subsection (3) applies, remove the entry in the register relating to the croft in relation to which a decrofting direction has been made.
This subsection applies where—
a registered croft has been resumed (whether before or after it was first registered) by virtue of an authorisation under section 20(1) of the 1993 Act;
no order has been made under section 21A(1) of that Act that the land so resumed revert to being a croft; and
the period of 20 years beginning with when the resumption was authorised has ended.
This subsection applies where—
a decrofting direction under section 24(2) or F1(3) or, as the case may be, 24B(1) of the 1993 Act was made in relation to a registered croft (whether made before or after it was first registered);
in the case of a decrofting direction under section 24B(1), the Commission have not revoked the direction under section 25(3);
the Land Court has not revoked the direction by virtue of section 25(8B) of that Act or by virtue of any other enactment; and
the period of 20 years beginning with the making of the direction has ended.
This section applies to a part of a croft as it applies to a whole croft with the modification that references in subsection (1) to removing entries in the register are to be read as references to modifying such entries.
