Article 5 Consequential and supplementary provisionI1

So far as may be necessary in consequence of the transfer of any property, right or liability under this Order, references to the Forestry Commissioners in any enactment or prerogative instrument, or in any other instrument, shall be read as if they were or included references to the Scottish Ministers.

Nothing in this Order shall have the effect of completing the title of the Scottish Ministers to any right or interest in land transferred by this Order, or to any other right or interest transferred by this Order, title to which requires to be completed by recording or registration for the purpose of making it a real right.

Any property to which this Order applies and which would, but for this Order, require—

in order to complete title to it, shall transfer to and vest in the Scottish Ministers by virtue of this Order as if on the transfer date the Scottish Ministers had taken delivery or possession of the property, or had intimated its assignation (as the case may be).
