213.—(1) Subject to paragraphs (4) and (5) of this rule, a document lodged at the land registry dealing with part of the land in a registered title must have attached to it a plan identifying clearly the land dealt with.
(2) Where the document is a disposition, the disponor must sign the plan.
(3) Where the document is an application, the applicant must sign the plan.
(4) If the land dealt with is identified clearly on the title plan of the registered title, it may instead be described by reference to that title plan.
(5) Where a disposition complies with this rule, the application lodged in respect of it need not.
Lodging of copy instead of an original documentE+W
214.—(1) Subject to paragraphs (2), (3) and (4), where a rule requires that an application be accompanied by an original document (for instance, a grant of representation) the applicant may, instead of lodging the original, lodge a certified or office copy of that document.
(2) This rule does not apply to—
(a)any document required to be lodged under Part 4,
(b)a scheduled form,
(c)a document that is a registrable disposition.
(3) This rule does not apply also where the registrar considers that the circumstances are such that the original of a document should be lodged and the applicant has possession, or the right to possession, of that original document.
(4) Where this rule permits a certified or office copy of a document to be lodged the registrar may permit an uncertified copy of the document to be lodged instead.
Documents and other evidence in support of an applicationE+W
215.—(1) This rule applies where—
(a)the lodging of a document (not being a scheduled form) or other evidence in support of an application is required by these rules, and
(b)the document or other evidence is in the particular case unnecessary or the purpose of the lodging of the document or other evidence can be achieved by another document or other evidence.
(2) An applicant may request the registrar to be relieved of the requirement.
(3) The request must contain evidence to satisfy the registrar as mentioned in paragraph (1)(b).
(4) If, after considering the request, the registrar is satisfied as mentioned at paragraph (1)(b) and that neither the rights of any person nor the keeping of the register are likely to be materially prejudiced by relieving the applicant of the requirement, he may so relieve the applicant.
(5) If the registrar allows the request it may be on condition that the applicant provides other documents or evidence in support of the application.
(6) This rule is without prejudice to any of the registrar's powers under the Act.
