Proposed eConveyancing interoperability regime
The Property Law Committee contributed to a submission to the Office of the Registrar General. Our positions were also articulated at the Ministerial Forum on interoperability held in February 2019. The Law Society supports the development of an interoperable solution for eConveyancing. The model of interoperability chosen should minimise risk and cost. The regulatory framework for interoperability should also address financial settlement as the security of financial settlement is just as significant as the integrity of the register.
