14SFor paragraph 2(1) of Schedule 1 there shall be substituted the following sub-paragraph—
“(1)Where—
(a)an alteration to a [F1traditional document] bears to have been signed by a relevant person under section 9(1) of this Act on behalf of a granter of the document; but
(b)there is no presumption under paragraph 1 of Schedule 1 to this Act (as modified by paragraph 9 of Schedule 3 to this Act) that the alteration has been signed by that person or that the procedure referred to in paragraph 1(1)(b) of Schedule 1 to this Act as so modified was followed,
then, if the court, on an application being made to it by any person who has an interest in the document, is satisfied that the alteration was so signed by the relevant person with the authority of the granter and that the relevant person read the alteration to the granter before signing or did not so read it because the granter declared that he did not wish him to do so, it shall—
(i)cause the document to be endorsed with a certificate to that effect; or
(ii)where the document has already been registered in the Books of Council and Session or in sheriff court books, grant decree to that effect.”.
