Committee asks whether Scottish-style system would work on IoM
The Land Registry would need a bigger budget if it were to take on more responsibility for applications to register land.
That's from the registrar general who's been giving evidence to a Tynwald Committee examining the issue of adverse possession and land registration.
Adverse possession allows a person who occupies property or land that is owned by someone else to by granted possession after a period of occupation.
The Constitutional and Legal Affairs and Justice Committee asked Ed Clague whether a similar system to Scotland - where land can be registered by keepers as well as owners - could work here.
He also discussed what could be done to make it easier and cheaper for land to be registered:
Meeting to progress horse tram tracks planned says DoI minister
Huts owner determined to rebuild after storm
Plans for 12 flats in city centre
Section of Peel Road to close for tree removal work
