LAND REGISTRATION ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1970 - SECT 17

Effect of first registration of freehold estate with a possessory title.

17.(1) On first registration of a person as full or limited owner of a
freehold estate with a possessory title, the person so registered shall, save
as is otherwise provided by subsection (2), have the same estate as if he had
been registered as full or, as the case may be, limited owner of that estate
with an absolute title.

(2) The first registration of a person as full or limited owner of a freehold
estate with a possessory title shall not prejudice or affect the enforcement
of any right adverse to, or in derogation of, the title of that person (or, in
the case of a limited owner, of that person and of any other person entitled
under the settlement in respect of which the first-mentioned person is
registered as limited owner) and subsisting or capable of arising at the time
of first registration of the title so registered.

(3) "Right", in subsection (2), includes any right or equity existing by
reason of the interest of such owner being deemed to be a graft upon his
previous interest in the land.
