Re- Comment by Paul Reynolds,
I wrote on behalf of CASIA ( campaigning body seeking to obtain better services from solicitor's ) to Jonathan Smithers at The Law Society when he headed up their "Property / Land Fraud" and had assisted Land Registry in setting up their "Fraud Hotline".
Mr Smithers replied saying about the problem's the "Open Register ( from 1990-March 2009)" had caused ( which only came about because Land Registry Staff had failed to challenge vast lodgings of different addresses for service), were basically excepted , as The Law Society were well aware of the "methodology of the fraud" behind it all. CASIA members were assured by Mr Smithers that their concerns over "over-riding interests" , which often go on to create conflicts of interest were basically groundless . When there is such ignoral of what after all are area's of law , where Land Registry according to the findings of the Adjudication of The Advertising Standards Authority 25 th July 2007, do not have to tell members of the UK Public about problems (over-riding interests) with property and land they are seeking to purchase, it is bound to result in countless cases , including the problems arising from leaseholds. Land Registry appear to ignore rulings against them and in the case of the ASA ruling , referred over 6,500 cases for Judicial Involvement, feeling no need to inform any of these cases of the published failings against them , that was worthy of being included into any of these case's in order to form defences of what potentially amounts to fraudulent claims to land.
