Fiaz Akhtar v Slough Borough Council (Deeds : Execution) [2017] EWLandRA 2016_0207 (27 October 2017)
Neutral Citation Number [2017] UKFTT 0803 (PC). Applicant alleged that her signature on the Transfer of the property had been forged and that the signature (whosever it was) had not been properly witnessed. She sought rectification of the register and her reinstatement as proprietor. There was no objection from the registered proprietor but the Respondent had a restriction in the register in respect of a restraint order under Proceeds of Crime Act 2002. The Tribunal found there was insufficient evidence of a forgery. The defective attestation was proven but, on analysis, did not mean there had been a mistake in the register. The Respondent, as the beneficiary of a restraint order, was entitled to be heard on the question of rectification.
