Title WK103672 - Requested AP1 Expedition many months ago - now have Court Order too!

Shah - no update as yet. 'Until 11th March' means that they have until that date to respond. It's then a manual process for the casework team to run a series of checks to see if we have received a response through a variety of channels. It's unlikely to be progressed further until late Friday at the very earliest. I'll post again when matters have been concluded (or otherwise) as appropriate. Please waikt for that update post WK103672

Hi Adam - pinging for an update! Thanks

Hi Shah - the lawyers has asked the casework team to contact the person who objected to the register update, to clarify/confirm matters and given her time to respond again. The time allowed for a response takes us through to 2nd April. I'm sorry I didn't update you before you posted again WK103672

Hi Adam - so the court order has been disregarded by the land registry? The other person will keep objecting, her conduct during court proceedings was similar which led her to be thrown out of the court - she is using the exact same tactics here - very disappointed that land registry has not once given me or my solicitor an update for the past year, despite multiple requests for an update, expediting requests, court order etc - you are the only person who has provided an update during the past 15 months

Hi Shah - court orders are not disregarded and I'm sorry that our communication has not been good enough re the ongoing case. The objector has been asked to provide more evidence to support her objection. I have added a note of your comments on this forum to the case record to enable the lawyer considering any response to include your own commentary as well. WK103672

Shah - one thing to ask is that you refer to multiple contacts from yourself and your solicitor over the past 15 months but I can't find anything recorded against the name and email you have used on this forum. The enquiry you referred to in an earlier post received an auto-response re delays in processing so was responded to. The recorded enquiries from the lodging solicitor have also been responded to. There is no process for routinely updating the solicitor whilst an application and objection is ongoing. The casework team would only contact the solicitor as and when they needed more from them or to confirm matters had concluded

Hi Adam - it’s probably because the name and email being used on this forum isn’t the one being used to contact land registry.  Just to give you and hopefully land registry lawyers/caseworkers an idea of what’s going on here is the timeline 1st December 2024 - applicant files HR1 form 6th December 2024 - charge is put on the title I object as soon I am made aware, send multiple letters to explain the reality of the situation. It takes a few months for land registry to say we need to file AP1 - I instruct my solicitors to file AP1 along with detailed evidence. In the meantime, applicant files for occupation order in a family court on the basis of home rights (which was put unilaterally) - our solicitor puts in an expedition request with land registry - we hear nothing Family court proceeding begins anyhow. Court gives applicant multiple opportunities to file evidence (just like land registry is doing right now I presume) to prove it’s her matrimonial home - come december 2025, court gives her final warning and a date of February 13th 2026 to provide detailed witness statement (her third) along with evidence On the final hearing, judge explicitly told the applicant that you have wasted court’s time, you have wasted respondent time and money and ask her to pay £6970 in costs - her case is struck out/dismissed - judge makes a clear order to remove homes rights charge and gives us permission to disclose the order to land registry to remove the charge. And here we are, back to square one with land registry asking her for more evidence. It’s like double jeopardy. I feel like I am trial once again. She hasn’t paid a penny as she is legally aided and I have spent upwards of £9k in legal fees only to be told “please wait” - sale of the house has been pending for many months because of this! She has abused this process and there isn’t anything I can do about it, my mental health is all over the place because of it. What I don’t understand is why land registry needs her consent now, given that there is a court order declaring she has no home rights in the property.

Hi Shah - thanks for confirming and that's fine as I guessed the privacy issue so have removed that detail from your reply. I have shared your own commentary with the case record as that can help with next steps depending on the objector's response

Hi Adam - so she filed an application to file an appeal against family court judgement on 05/03/2026 - to which the judge has given her 21 days from 13/03/2026 - my question is, will land registry now wait for her to get permission to appeal (till 2nd April)? She has to produce the whole transcript of the judgement, along with ground for appeal with relevant laws and then judge will decide whether appeal is allowed or not. Will land registry wait for that appeal to be concluded now? Current judgement still stands and in my solicitor's opinion, land registry, as an administrative body should follow the explicit court order given in the 13/02/2026 judgement.

Hi Shah - the 'appeal' aspect is I'm sure part of her grounds for objection but any decision as to what can or can't happen will be for our lawyers to decide. If you/your solicitor have a specific view on this then you should consider submitting that information as you see fit. As things currently stand she has been asked to supply more information as I mentioned and has been given time to do so. Our lawyers will then decide whether the objection is groundless or not.
