I am informed by the Registrar of Titles that the application referred to by the Deputy is an application for a copy folio and filed map. The original application, No. P2004SM034582P, was lodged and issued on 28 April, 2004. I am informed, however, that in imaging the filed map for this folio an error was made.

I am further informed that on foot a letter received from the lodging solicitors on the 11 May 2004, a new filed map for this folio was expeditiously prepared and a new copy folio and filed map was issued free of charge on 26 May 2004 to the lodging solicitors. Application No. C2004SM001914U refers.

I am informed by the Registrar of Titles that this is an application for first registration, which was lodged on 12 May 2004. Dealing No. D2004XS006807K refers. I understand that due to the complicated nature of these type of cases, which require examination of an applicant's entitlement to the property concerned, it is not possible to estimate a date of completion at this time. I am further informed that queries issued to the lodging solicitors on 26 May 2004 and that the application cannot proceed until these queries have been satisfactorily resolved. However, I can assure the Deputy that, on receipt of a satisfactory reply, the matter will receive further attention in the Land Registry.
