Court-directed correction

As with others of the Keeper’s registers, the court can direct the Keeper to correct the RSP under section 100(1) of the 2023 Act, for instance to remove an entry for a reduced fraudulent Statutory Pledge.

If you have a court order directing the Keeper to correct an inaccuracy in the RSP, this can be brought to the Keeper’s attention.

The correction of such an inaccuracy does not attract a fee.

Where correcting the register as a result of a court order, the Keeper will send a notification of the fact of correction having taken place, in so far as it is reasonable and practicable to do so, by email where such an address is held and by post, if not, to:

(a) the provider (including purported providers);

(b) the registered creditor;

(c) the applicant, if not the provider or registered creditor; and

(d) any other person who appears to the Keeper to be affected by it materially.

The Keeper’s default, however, approach will be to notify the fact of court-directed correction having taken place to all email addresses held by the Keeper in relation to the corrected Statutory Pledges Record entry.

Court-directed Correction Notifications will contain a link to a web page or "landing page", which will contain details of the correction to which the Correction Notification relates, including a PDF version of the full record entry. The PDF will be a snapshot of the Statutory Pledges Record entry position as at that date, and, although it does not have the evidential status of an extract requested under section 106 of the 2023 Act, it fully reflects the Statutory Pledges Record entry after completion of the correction to which the Correction Notification relates.

All parties notified by email will receive the same Correction Notification, and all parties will be able to access the respective PDF. The parties notified will be free to forward on the link to the landing page as they see fit and it will be possible to print or to save the PDF's locally to their own systems. The link to the landing page will be available for a 30-day period, which should allow the parties adequate time to access it following the correction of the record entry.

Where a Correction Notification is sent by post, this will contain details of the correction to which the Correction Notification and a paper version of the PDF document referred to above.
