Public Administration: Directorate General confirms suspension of registration qualification for related titles if the first contains defects

The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith has upheld a registrar's decision to suspend the qualification of several expropriation documents submitted successively. The suspension arises because the first document submitted (entry 1,580) was qualified with defects, necessitating the postponement of the processing of related titles (entries 1,581 to 1,585) to prevent contradictions (Articles 111.3 and 432.2 of the Mortgage Regulations). The registration period for subsequent titles is automatically extended until the preceding title is registered (Article 18.2 of the Mortgage Law).

In 2 key points

  1. The validity of the presentation entry is extended until the registration period for the preceding title expires (art. 18.2 de la Ley Hipotecaria)
  2. Contradictory or related titles must be postponed if there are pending previous presentation entries (art. 111.3 y 432.2 del Reglamento Hipotecario)

How it affects those involved

For the Administration (in this case, the State Road Demarcation), defects in an initial expropriation title block the registration of all subsequently submitted related documents, even if they are independent in origin. This implies that the legal certainty of the registry requires the rectification of the first title before the deadlines for subsequent ones can begin to run, thereby preventing the loss of registration priority due to the expiry of presentation entries (Article 18.2 of the Mortgage Law).
