Effect of certificate of redemption
17.—(1) Subject to paragraph (2), a certificate of redemption is conclusive evidence—
(a)of the redemption of the ground rent to which it relates (and of the right of the rent-payer to that redemption); and
(b)of the operation in relation to the land, and any other parcel or parcels of land affected, of Articles 18, 19, 20, 23, 24, 25 and 26 so far as those Articles are applicable and subject to their terms.
(2) Where the court is satisfied that a certificate of redemption has been obtained by fraud and that the certificate can be cancelled without hardship to a purchaser of the land in good faith for value, the court may order the certificate to be cancelled and, where the certificate relates to registered land, may order the register to be rectified accordingly.
(3) In paragraph (2) “the court” has the meaning given by section 4 of the Land Registration Act (references in that section to that Act being read as including references to this Order).
