Individuals: Appeal against registrar's qualification is not a means to cancel existing entries

The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith has dismissed a government appeal, clarifying that the sole purpose of such appeals is to determine whether the registrar's qualification complies with the law (Art. 326 of the Mortgage Law). The ruling establishes that once a registry entry has been made, it falls under the protection of the courts and cannot be rectified through this procedure; instead, it requires the consent of the interested parties or a court judgment (Art. 1.3 and Art. 40.c of the Mortgage Law).

In 3 key points

  1. An appeal against qualification is not a channel to cancel entries already made (art. 326 Ley Hipotecaria)
  2. Rectification of entries requires the consent of interested parties or a judicial ruling (art. 1, párrafo tercero, de la Ley Hipotecaria)
  3. Two-month deadline to appeal the decision before the Civil Court (art. 325 y 328 de la Ley Hipotecaria)

How it affects those involved

For individuals seeking to challenge entries already made in the Land Registry, this ruling confirms that an appeal against qualification is not the appropriate procedural route to request the cancellation of entries (Art. 326 of the Mortgage Law). In the event of an error or a request for rectification, the affected party must pursue judicial action under Articles 40.c and 211 of the Mortgage Law, or alternatively, obtain the consent of all interested parties and the registrar.
