Request:
- Has the Crown Estate challenged, or is the Crown Estate in course of challenging or does the Crown Estate intend to challenge registration of Titles ARG9910 and ARG29177 insofar as including or purporting to include foreshore?
- If the Crown Estate has not challenged, is not challenging and has no intention of challenging the said registrations, the reason or reasons why.
Response:
- No
- It is the opinion of Crown Estate Scotland that a realignment of rights has occurred by operation of s86 of the Land Registration etc (Scotland) Act 2012, principally that the first registration of the foreshore in 2002, the introduction of the 2012 Act, and subsequent disposals, put the current owners’ title to foreshore under Title Reference ARG9910 beyond challenge.
