Registration applications in the RoA can only be submitted by, or on behalf of, the assignee in the assignation document to be registered. Where an assignation document assigns different claims to different assignees, section 24 of the 2023 Act provides that an individual assignee may only register that document in so far as it relates to the claim assigned to them.
Registration applications in the RSP can only be submitted by, or on behalf of, the secured creditor in the statutory pledge constitutive document or statutory pledge amendment document to be registered.
The RoA and RSP application information submission duties under the 2024 Rules therefore relate to assignees and secured creditors, respectively.
Registration applications can be submitted either by, or by legal representatives on behalf of, assignees and secured creditors.
Applicants for registration in the RoA and RSP are required to provide certain information and documentation in support of their registration applications. The requirements for both registers are very similar but this guidance will deal with each separately for ease of understanding.
Where there is a mandatory requirement for an applicant to provide certain information or documentation under the 2023 Act and/or the 2024 Rules, an application will not be acceptable for submission unless all mandatory information fields in the Keeper’s online registration system are completed.
