The effect of indefeasibility and error correction on the registration process

Conventional wisdom indicates that there are two forms of register: a Register of Title and a Register of Deeds. However, we agree with Zevenbergen & Ploeger (2019, p. 7) when they state that in reality most systems are neither purely deeds or Title based and lie on a spectrum between the two poles. As binary concepts, the terms Title and Deed...

The use of LADM primitives and structured indexing to support automated registration using submitted applications

The Land Administration Domain Model (LADM (ISO TC/211, 2012)) is a conceptual model which supports the modelling of social relations with land articulated through rights. There are three principal concepts within LADM: the party (the who) that has a rights relationship (the what) with a plot of land (the where). As an abstraction the party...

LADM patterns to support the efficient modelling of Cooperative (Community and Strata) Titles for Land Registers

In many jurisdictions sub-ownership rights can be separated from the main body of ownership. In Scotland these are referred to as separate tenements and encompass such ownership rights as minerals, salmon fishing, mines of gold and silver, and petroleum (Reid et al., 1996, pp. 168-171). The main body of ownership may be further encumbered with...

Developing a Hohfeldian theory of Real Rights to support LADM modelling

The Land Administration Domain Model (LADM (ISO TC/211, 2012)) is a conceptual model which supports the modelling of social relations with land articulated through rights. There are three principal concepts within LADM: the party (the who) that has a rights relationship (the what) with a plot of land (the where). A party-right-land model by...

Evolving registration - how do established Registrars embrace change

A Land Register should evolve to meet the changing social and policy needs of citizens, government and business. Evolution is about constant change. When there is a significant mismatch between the register and need then reform is required. Reform affects more than just legislation; reform disrupts policy, practice, networks and people....
