These Rules perform a similar function to the Local Land Charges Rules 1977 (S.I. 1977/985) made under the Local Land Charges Act 1975 (1975 c. 76) (the Act). The Act was amended by the Infrastructure Act 2015 (2015 c. 7) (the 2015 Act) to provide for the transfer of responsibility for local land charges from individual local authorities in England and Wales to the Chief Land Registrar (the registrar). These Rules are made under the Act as amended by the 2015 Act, and rule 16 revokes the Local Land Charges Rules 1977 (except for the provision made in those rules for fees in relation to Wales, the power to make rules prescribing fees having been devolved).
