Background
The Land Registration Act 2002 was introduced in response to the Law Commission and HM Land Registry report, Land Registration for the Twenty-first Century (2001). The Act:
- Simplified and modernised the law of land registration;
- Made the register reflect a more accurate picture of a title to land, showing more fully the rights and subsidiary interests that affect it; and
- Was intended to facilitate the introduction of e-conveyancing.
The Act made some major changes to the law regulating registered land. Specifically, it:
- Enabled shorter leases to be registered;
- Further encouraged voluntary land registration;
- Changed the system of protection of third party rights; and
- Reformed and modernised the law of adverse possession (squatters' rights).
- Land Transfer Act 1875
- Land Registration Act 1925

Famous quotes containing the word background:
“In the true sense one’s native land, with its background of tradition, early impressions, reminiscences and other things dear to one, is not enough to make sensitive human beings feel at home.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
“... every experience in life enriches one’s background and should teach valuable lessons.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“Silence is the universal refuge, the sequel to all dull discourses and all foolish acts, a balm to our every chagrin, as welcome after satiety as after disappointment; that background which the painter may not daub, be he master or bungler, and which, however awkward a figure we may have made in the foreground, remains ever our inviolable asylum, where no indignity can assail, no personality can disturb us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
