Land Registry Rejection Due to Lack of Certified Legal Finality of Precedent Approval

The Land Registry Office correctly rejected an application to register the exercise of a purchase option for agricultural properties because the required official approval, although granted, lacked certification of its legal finality at the time of application. The court reasoned that for a registration to proceed, documentation must confirm whether the approval has been legally challenged, as the entry only becomes final after the appeal period expires without objection, meaning the registration must be withheld if the appeal deadline has not passed or an appeal is pending, even if the failure to issue a formal certificate of finality is acknowledged.
