Objection and Adjudication
Anybody may make an objection to the Registrar about an application (s.73). The Registrar must advise the applicant and, so long as the objection is not groundless, must dispose of the objection by agreement between the parties. If agreement cannot be reached, the matter must be referred to the Adjudicator who is appointed by the Lord Chancellor (ss.107-114). The Adjudicator also hears appeals from aggrieved persons on decisions of the Registrar as to access to the Land Registry Network (Sch.5).
The Adjudicator can make any order which the High Court could make for the rectification or setting aside of certain dispositions, contracts and other documents affecting interests in land. Appeals from the decision of the Regulator can be made to the High Court (s.111).
As of 1 November 2007, the Adjudicator came under the supervision of the Administrative Justice and Tribunals Council and will become part of the UK tribunal system as reformed under the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007.

Famous quotes containing the word objection:
“The only thing that is unqualifiedly given is the total pervasive quality; and the objection to calling it “given” is that the word suggests something to which it is given, mind or thought or consciousness or whatever, as well possibly as something that gives.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
