Ruling on the suspension of georeferencing registration due to objections from neighbours in an Art. 199 LH proceeding

The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith has ruled on an appeal against a negative assessment by the Land Registrar of Manresa No. 2. The registrar suspended the registration of a surface rectification and georeferencing for a property following objections from a neighbour within the descriptive rectification procedure under Article 199 of the Mortgage Law (Art. 199 LH). The case examines the validity of descriptive updates when faced with opposition from affected third parties.

The existence of objections from neighbours or their successors in title can halt the registration of georeferencing and area rectification via the Art. 199 LH procedure. For neighbours, the procedure guarantees the right to submit objections regarding changes to the description of adjacent properties.
