Paragraph 9 F1
England and Wales
An action for breach of statutory duty lies where—
the disponor on a qualifying disposal fails to comply with paragraph 1 (duty to secure inclusion of statement in instrument effecting disposal), or
the landlord on a change of the qualifying dwelling-house fails to comply with paragraph 5(2) or (4) (duty to apply for registration protecting preserved right to buy),
and a qualifying person is deprived of the preserved right to buy by reason of the non-registration of the matters which would have been registered if that duty had been complied with.
If the Chief Land Registrar has to meet a claim under the F2Land Registration Act 2002 as a result of acting upon-
a certificate given in pursuance of paragraph 2 (certificate of title on first registration),
a statement made in pursuance of paragraph 7 (statements required on disposal on which right to buy ceases to be preserved), or
a certificate given in pursuance of paragraph 8 (certificate that dwelling-house has ceased to be subject to rights under this Part),
the person who gave the certificate or made the statement shall indemnify him.
