# The Land Registration etc. (Scotland) Act 2012 (Amendment) Order 2017, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order makes two changes to the rules for registration of title to land in the Land Register of Scotland in the Land Registration etc. (Scotland) Act 2012, from 1st January 2018.
Regulation 2 amends the rules for notification by prescriptive claimants (the term introduced by section 43 of that Act for registration of a non domino dispositions). Section 45(5) of the Act is amended so there is no need to wait 60 days after the Keeper of the Registers of Scotland notifies such a person who has already told the Keeper they do not object. The person is given 7 days to change their mind.
Regulation 3 uses the ancillary power in the Act to create a minor exception from the requirement in the registration of a deed that it narrates the title number of each title sheet to which it relates where the title number could not have been known to the granter. This can in particular occur where the deed is an extract of a deed recorded in the Books of Council and Session (e.g. for variations and assignations of leases).
No business and regulatory impact assessment has been prepared for this Order, as it has no impact on the cost of business.
