Abstract: Course-focused and comprehensive, the <italic>Textbook on Land Law</italic> provides an accessible overview of one key area on the law curriculum. The Land Registration Act 1925, which governed the system of registered land, was repealed and replaced by the Land Registration Act 2002, which in the main came into force on 13 October 2003. This chapter focuses on the terms of the 2002 Act and the rules made under it (Land Registration Rules 2003). The discussion covers the basics of land registration, including the appearance of the land register and the types of entry that can be made on it; the process of first registration of unregistered land; the formalities for transferring and creating rights in registered land; the protection of purchasers of registered land and the role of overriding interests; and the circumstances in which the register can be changed and those who have suffered loss by reason of the registration system can be indemnified by the state.
