Any applications lodged relating to S.1. 233 of 2023 that do not involve Bankinter S.A. need to be referred to the Head of Legal Standards and External Liaison so that a process is put in place for that lending institution.

See also the July 2025 notice below regarding applications filed by Bankinter S.A.

鈥疞egal Office Notice 1 of 2025

This notice published on 23 July relates to Bankinter S.A. and S.I. 233 of 2023. It sets out how charges registered in favour of Avantcard DAC are to be processed, as well as new charges registered in favour of Bankinter S.A. 

Note the effective date 1 April 2025 for how charges are registered. 

Amendment re transfers of registered land

Paragraph 12 in the guidelines for how registered land can be legally transferred from one owner to another has been amended.

It now includes the following note:

“If the charge states that the Receiver so appointed shall have and be entitled to exercise all powers conferred by the Act and in addition, pursuant to section 108(3)(c) of the Act, the Mortgagor and the Secured Party delegates additional powers to any Receiver (including selling the property) and the Deed of Transfer states that the Receiver is acting as agent for the borrower pursuant to Section 108(3)c of the 2009 Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Act then paragraph 6 above applies to these transfers.“
