Quotation (verbatim): LRR 1989 certificate: the solicitor states belief that the applicant “is and has been in undisputed possession or in receipt of rents and profits” and that he is not aware of “any question or doubt affecting the applicant’s title or of any claim to the land adverse to the applicant”.

Fits with: The 31 Dec 1969 and 23 May 1975 conveyances pre-date compulsion, so the “void if not registered within two months” theory (LRA 1925 s.123) does not arise. The 19 Nov 1982 fields conveyance fell inside compulsion and was lodged in 11 days. The Feb 1983 WA240304 application was therefore most likely voluntary (inference). The “no question or doubt” certificate on WA240304 is most likely the r.29 solicitor’s certificate, separate from the company’s statutory declaration on Form 1C (Co.): two actors, two instruments.

Cuts against: The 1989 certificate text post-dates 1983; it shows the kind of statement HMLR relied on, not the 1983 wording. The Gazette notice series ended about May 1975, so the absence of a 1982–83 or 1994 advertisement is not evidence of concealment.

Notes: Our case, prospective, on any reading of the 1983 registration.
