It guides readers through each procedure and rule in the process and forewarns of the pitfalls and problems that are likely to be encountered along the way, suggesting solutions for each step. Referrals from the Land Registry Focusing on the adjudication process Land Registry Adjudication looks at referrals from many origins including those from the Land Registry and those that have come through the rectification of certain categories of document set out in Section 108 of the Land Registration Act 2002.
