Plaintiffs facing opposition from owners or councils: 30-day deadline to appeal to the Land Registry

The ruling establishes that when an adjacent landowner or the local council opposes the registration of an alternative georeferenced graphic representation, the plaintiff has 30 days to file an appeal with the Registrar. This deadline arises from the procedure regulated under Article 199.2 of the Mortgage Law (cite: art. 199.2). This change provides a clearer and more structured avenue for appeal following a refusal to register.
