I am informed by the Registrar of Titles that this is an application under section 49, acquisition of title by virtue of long possession, of the Registration of Title Act 1964 which was lodged on 4 February 2004 — dealing No. D2004SM001110A refers.

I understand that due to their complicated nature applications under section 49 which require detailed examination of claims for registration as owners can take some time to process. Accordingly it is not possible to estimate a completion date at this stage. However, I assure the Deputy that this application is receiving attention in the Land Registry and will be completed as soon as possible.
