The Conveyancing Committee, in conjunction with the Land Registry, have reached agreement on a procedure whereby a note of the Dealing Number will be furnished to the Applicant's solicitor at the earliest possible date. The Land Registry Rules provide that every Applica- tion to the Registry should be accompanied by a State- ment in Form 17. Where a Dealing has been lodged by post the Form 17 should be furnished in duplicate and, subject to the Dealing being in order, the Registry will on the allocation of a Dealing Number put a note of same on the Copy of the Form 17 and return this to the lodging Solicitor. In the case of Dealings lodged by hand, the Form 17 should be furnished in triplicate. The Registry, on the lodgment of the Dealing, will receipt one copy and furnish it to the solicitor making the lodgement. When a Dealing Number has been allocated, the extra copy of the Form 17 will be returned to the lodging solicitor with a note of the Dealing Number therein. It is considered that this procedure will greatly assist solicitors who may have subsequent queries concerning the progress of their Applications. In all subsequent communications with the Registry, the Dealing Number should be quoted.
