LAND REGISTRATION ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1970 - SECT 6

Appeal and reference to the High Court.

6.(1) Any person aggrieved by any order of the Registrar, or by any decision
of the Registrar other than a decision on a matter expressly stated to be in
his discretion, may appeal to the High Court, and that Court may annul or
confirm, with or without modification, the order or decision.

(2) Whenever the Registrar entertains a doubt as to any question of law or of
fact arising in the course of registration under this Act, he may make an
order referring the question to the High Court.

(3) Save as is otherwise provided by section 61, the High Court, in any
proceeding under this section, shall, if so requested by the Registrar, and
may in any case, if necessary, appoint, for the purposes of that proceeding, a
guardian or other person to represent any minor, person of unsound mind,
person absent from Northern Ireland, unborn person or person as to whom it is
not known whether he is dead or alive.

(4) The High Court may, if it is satisfied that the interests of any person
represented as is mentioned in subsection (3) are sufficiently protected by
the representation, make an order declaring that he shall be conclusively
bound by the decision of the Court and, thereupon, he shall, subject to
section 7, be bound accordingly as if he were a party.
