# The Police Act 1997 (Provisions in relation to the NCIS Service Authority) Order 1998, Article G8: Register of loan instruments and certain existing loans


(1) The Authority shall maintain a register giving particulars of all the loans in respect of which loan instruments are issued by or to the Authority on or after 1st April 1998 and, if it thinks it appropriate, the Authority may appoint as a registrar for some or all of the purposes of such a register a person who is neither an officer nor any other employee of the Authority.
(2) Subject to the following provisions of this article, a register required to be maintained under this article shall be in such form as the Authority considers appropriate; but that form must be such that the register is, or is capable of being reproduced, in legible form.
(3) A register maintained under this article shall contain, with respect to each loan of which particulars are required to be registered,
(a) except in the case of a loan in respect of which there has been issued an instrument (whether or not being a loan instrument) transferable by delivery, the name or description, and the address, of the person to whom payments or repayments are due;
(b) the dates on which the payments or repayments are to be made; and
(c) the amount of each of those payments or repayments or the method by which that amount is to be calculated.
(4) The Authority may remove from a register maintained under this article particulars of any loan in respect of which no more payments or repayments fall to be made.
(5) Where provision is made in regulations under section 46(6) of the 1989 Act with respect to a register maintained by an authority under that section those provisions shall apply to a register maintained by the Authority under this article as they apply to a register maintained under that section; and in the application of those provisions under this paragraph references in those regulations to provisions in local government enactments shall be interpreted as references to the equivalent provisions in this Order.
(6) A copy of an entry in a register maintained under this article which is certified by a registrar of the register and purports to show particulars entered pursuant to paragraph (3) or paragraph (5) above shall be prima facie evidence of the matters specified in the entry.
(7) A certification by a registrar of a register maintained under this article of any instrument of transfer of a loan instrument is to be taken as a representation by him to any person acting on the faith of the certification that there have been produced to the registrar such documents as on their face show a prima facie title to the loan instrument in the transferor named in the instrument of transfer; but such a certification shall not be taken as a representation that the transferor has any title to the loan instrument.
(8) If—
(a) the name of any person is, without sufficient cause, entered in or omitted from a register maintained under this article, or
(b) default is made or unnecessary delay takes place in making any entry required to be made in such a register,
the person aggrieved may apply to the High Court or a county court for rectification of the register.
(9) Where an application is made under paragraph (8) above, the court—
(a) may refuse the application or order rectification of the register;
(b) may decide any question relating to the title of a person who is a party to the application to have his name entered in or omitted from the register; and
(c) generally may decide any question necessary or expedient to be decided for rectification of the register.
