An Act to provide as respects Scotland for the variation and discharge of certain obligations relating to land; to facilitate the allocation of feuduties and ground annuals; to reduce the period of positive prescription of 20 years to 10 years; to provide for a new form of heritable security; to make certain amendments to the existing law relating to heritable securities; to make certain other amendments to the law relating to conveyancing; to abolish the rights of pre-emption of heritors in respect of glebes; to amend the Lands Tribunal Act 1949; and for connected purposes.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The provisions of this section and of section 2 of this Act shall, without prejudice to any other method of variation or discharge, apply for the variation or discharge of any land obligation, however constituted, and whether subsisting at the commencement of this Act or constituted thereafter: Provided that the provisions of the said sections shall not apply in relation to an obligation specified or referred to in Schedule 1 to this Act.
For the purposes of this section and of section 2 of this Act, a land obligation is an obligation relating to land which is enforceable by a proprietor of an interest in land, by virtue of his being such proprietor, and which is binding upon a proprietor of another interest in that land, or of an interest in other land, by virtue of his being such proprietor. For the purposes mentioned in this subsection, an obligation includes a future or contingent obligation, an obligation to defray or contribute towards some cost, an obligation to refrain from doing something, and an obligation to permit or suffer something to be done or maintained.
Subject to the provisions of this section and of section 2 of this Act, the Lands Tribunal, on the application of any person who, in relation to a land obligation, is a burdened proprietor, may from time to time by order vary or discharge the obligation wholly or partially in relation to the interest in land in respect of which the application is made, on being satisfied that in all the circumstances,
by reason of changes in the character of the land affected by the obligation or of the neighbourhood thereof or other circumstances which the Tribunal may deem material, the obligation is or has become unreasonable or inappropriate; or
the obligation is unduly burdensome compared with any benefit resulting or which would result from its performance; or
the existence of the obligation impedes some reasonable use of the land.
An order varying or discharging a land obligation under this section may direct the applicant to pay, to any person who in relation to that obligation is a benefited proprietor, such sum as the Lands Tribunal may think it just to award under one, but not both, of the following heads— but the Tribunal may refuse to vary or discharge a land obligation on the ground specified in subsection (3)(c) of this section if they are of the opinion that, due to exceptional circumstances related to amenity or otherwise, money would not be an adequate compensation for any loss or disadvantage which a benefited proprietor would suffer from the variation or discharge.
a sum to compensate for any substantial loss or disadvantage suffered by the proprietor as such benefited proprietor in consequence of the variation or discharge ; or
a sum to make up for any effect which the obligation produced, at the time when it was imposed, in reducing the consideration then paid or made payable for the interest in land affected by it;
The power conferred by this section to vary or discharge an obligation includes power to add or substitute any such provision (not being an award of money otherwise than by way of compensation under subsection (4) of this section) as appears to the Lands Tribunal to be reasonable as the result of the variation or discharge of the obligation and as may be accepted by the applicant; and the Tribunal may accordingly refuse to vary or discharge the obligation without some such provision.
On the taking effect of an order under this section varying or discharging to any extent a land obligation, any irritant or resolutive clause or other condition relating to the enforcement of the obligation shall, in relation to any act or omission occurring after the date of such taking effect, be effective (if at all) only in so far as it would have been effective if the obligation had to that extent been varied or discharged by the person entitled to enforce the obligation; and any such added or substituted provision as is referred to in subsection (5) of this section shall be enforceable in the same manner as the obligation to the variation or discharge of which it relates.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
On an application under section 1 of this Act, the Lands Tribunal shall give such notice thereof, whether by way of advertisement or otherwise, as may be prescribed, to the persons who, in relation to the obligation which is the subject of the application, appear to them to be either benefited or burdened proprietors, and to such other person as the Tribunal may think fit.
In an application to the Lands Tribunal under section 1 of this Act, any person who, in relation to the obligation which is the subject of the application, is either a burdened or a benefited proprietor, shall be entitled, within such time as may be prescribed, to oppose or make representations in relation to the application, and the Tribunal shall allow any such person, and may allow any other person who appears to them to be affected by the obligation or by its proposed variation or discharge, to be heard in relation to the application.
An order made under section 1 of this Act shall take effect in accordance with such rules as may be prescribed.
Where an order made under section 1 of this Act which has taken effect is duly recorded, it shall be binding on all persons having interest.
Where a land obligation is first created, whether before or after the commencement of this Act, in a conveyance, deed, instrument or writing, no application shall be brought under section 1 of this Act in relation thereto until the expiry of two years after the date of its creation.
For the purposes of this section and of section 1 of this Act,
With interest from ........................ Testing clause+
+Note 7— In the case of a traditional document, subscription of it by the granter, or in the case of form E the granter and the consenter to the variation, will be sufficient for the document to be formally valid, but witnessing of it may be necessary or desirable for other purposes (see the Requirements of Writing (Scotland) Act 1995, which also makes provision as regards the authentication of an electronic document).
shall exclude the application of section 1 of this Act to an obligation falling within sub-paragraph (i) above, and not created or imposed in connection with the use of any land as an aerodrome, only so long as the obligation is enforceable by or on behalf of the Crown; and
It shall be an obligation on the debtor—
to maintain the security subjects in good and sufficient repair to the reasonable satisfaction of the creditor;
to permit, after seven clear days notice in writing, the creditor or his agent to enter upon the security subjects at all reasonable times to examine the condition thereof;
to make all necessary repairs and make good all defects in pursuance of his obligation under head (a) of this condition within such reasonable period as the creditor may require by notice in writing.
It shall be an obligation on the debtor—
where he has received any notice or order, issued or made by virtue of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Acts 1947 to 1969 or any amendment thereof, or any proposal so made for the making or issuing of any such notice or order, or any other notice or document affecting or likely to affect the security subjects, to give to the creditor, within fourteen days of the receipt of that notice, order or proposal, full particulars thereof;
to take, as soon as practicable, all reasonable or necessary steps to comply with such a notice or order or, as the case may be, duly to object thereto;
in the event of the creditor so requiring, to object or to join with the creditor in objecting to any such notice or order or in making representations against any proposal therefor.
The creditor shall be entitled to perform any obligation imposed by the standard conditions on the debtor, which the debtor has failed to perform. Where it is necessary for the performance of any obligation as aforesaid, the creditor may, after giving seven clear days notice in writing to the debtor, enter upon the security subjects at all reasonable times. All expenses and charges (including any interest thereon), reasonably incurred by the creditor in the exercise of a right conferred by this condition, shall be recoverable from the debtor and shall be deemed to be secured by the security subjects under the standard security, and the rate of any such interest shall be the rate in force at the relevant time in respect of advances secured by the security, or, where no such rate is prescribed, shall be the bank rate in force at the relevant time.
Where the debtor is in default, the creditor may, without prejudice to his exercising any other remedy arising from the contract to which the standard security relates, exercise, in accordance with the provisions of Part II of this Act and of any other enactment applying to standard securities, such of the remedies specified in the following sub-paragraphs of this standard condition as he may consider appropriate. He may proceed to sell the security subjects or any part thereof. He may enter into possession of the security subjects and may receive or recover . . . the rents of those subjects or any part thereof. Where he has entered into possession as aforesaid, he may let the security subjects or any part thereof. Where he has entered into possession as aforesaid there shall be transferred to him all the rights of the debtor in relation to the granting of leases or rights of occupancy over the security subjects and to the management and maintenance of those subjects. He may effect all such repairs and may make good such defects as are necessary to maintain the security subjects in good and sufficient repair, and may effect such reconstruction, alteration and improvement on the subjects as would be expected of a prudent proprietor to maintain the market value of the subjects, and for the aforesaid purposes may enter on the subjects at all reasonable times. He may apply to the court for a decree of foreclosure.
shall exclude the application of section 1 of this Act to an obligation falling within sub-paragraph (ii) above, or created or imposed in connection with the use of any land as an aerodrome, only so long as the obligation is enforceable by or on behalf of the Crown or any public or international authority.

The provisions of this section and of sections 4 and 5 of this Act shall, without prejudice to any other method of allocation, apply for the purpose of allocating any cumulo feuduty, whether constituted before or after the commencement of this Act.
For the purposes of this section and of sections 4 and 5 of this Act,
“Register of Sasines” means the appropriate division of the General Register of Sasines;
It shall be an obligation on the debtor—
to complete, as soon as may be practicable, any unfinished buildings and works forming part of the security subjects to the reasonable satisfaction of the creditor;
not to demolish, alter or add to any buildings or works forming part of the security subjects, except in accordance with the terms of a prior written consent of the creditor and in compliance with any consent, licence or approval required by law;
to exhibit to the creditor at his request evidence of that consent, licence or approval.
It shall be an obligation on the debtor—
to insure the security subjects or, at the option of the creditor, to permit the creditor to insure the security subjects in the names of the creditor and the debtor to the extent of the market value thereof against the risk of fire and such other risks as the creditor may reasonably require;
to deposit any policy of insurance effected by the debtor for the aforesaid purpose with the creditor;
to pay any premium due in respect of any such policy, and, where the creditor so requests, to exhibit a receipt therefor not later than the fourteenth day after the renewal date of the policy;
to intimate to the creditor, within fourteen days of the occurrence, any occurrence which may give rise to a claim under the policy, and to authorise the creditor to negotiate the settlement of the claim;
without prejudice to any obligation to the contrary enforceable against him, to comply with any reasonable requirement of the creditor as to the application of any sum received in respect of such a claim;
to refrain from any act or omission which would invalidate the policy.
The creditor shall be entitled, subject to the terms of the security and to any requirement of law, to call-up a standard security in the manner prescribed by section 19 of this Act.
The debtor shall be entitled to exercise his right (if any) to redeem the security on giving notice of his intention so to do, being a notice in writing (hereinafter referred to as a “notice of redemption”). Nothing in the provisions of this Act shall preclude a creditor from waiving the necessity for a notice of redemption, or from agreeing to a period of notice of less than that to which he is entitled. When a notice of redemption states that a specified amount will be repaid, and it is subsequently ascertained that the whole amount due to be repaid is more or less than the amount specified in the notice, the notice shall nevertheless be effective as a notice of repayment of the amount due as subsequently ascertained. Where the debtor has exercised a right to redeem, and has made payment of the whole amount due, or has performed the whole obligations of the debtor under the contract to which the security relates, the creditor shall grant a discharge in the terms prescribed in section 17 of this Act.
The debtor shall be personally liable to the creditor for the whole expenses of the preparation and execution of the standard security and any variation, restriction and discharge thereof and, where any of those deeds are registered or recorded, the registration or recording thereof, and all expenses reasonably incurred by the creditor in calling-up the security and realising or attempting to realise the security subjects, or any part thereof, and exercising any other powers conferred upon him by the security.
Any proprietor of part of a feu may serve upon his superior or upon any other person to whom the cumulo feuduty is paid on his behalf a notice of allocation of the portion of the cumulo feuduty which has been apportioned by disposition or other document or by any other method (formal or informal) on the part of the feu of which he is proprietor.
A notice of allocation shall be in, or as nearly as may be in, such form as may be prescribed by regulations made by the Secretary of State by statutory instrument, and shall contain— and shall be signed by the proprietor or his agent.
the name and address of the proprietor serving the notice and a sufficient identification of the part of the feu of which he is proprietor and on which he wishes the portion of the cumulo feuduty to be allocated, and the name and address of the person to whom that portion is paid;
a statement of the amount of that portion ;
a statement to the effect that that portion of the feuduty is to be allocated under the Conveyancing and Feudal Reform (Scotland) Act 1970 on the part of the feu of which the person serving the notice is the proprietor;
Subject to the provisions of sections 4 and 5 of this Act, a notice of allocation shall be effective to allocate on the part of the feu of which the person serving the notice is the proprietor the portion of the cumulo feuduty stated in the notice.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
If a superior upon whom a notice of allocation has been served under section 3 of this Act wishes to object to the amount of the portion of feuduty of which allocation is sought by the proprietor serving the notice, he may, within such time as may be prescribed, apply to the Lands Tribunal, and on such application, the Tribunal (except in so far as they consider it impracticable to do so) shall by order allocate the cumulo feuduty, in such manner as they consider reasonable, on the part of the feu of which the person serving the notice is the proprietor, and on every other part of the feu which is held by a separate proprietor.
On any application to the Lands Tribunal under this section, the Tribunal shall give such notice thereof, whether by way of advertisement or otherwise, as may be prescribed, to the persons who appear to them to be proprietors of parts of the feu in respect of which the cumulo feuduty is exigible, and to such other persons as the Tribunal may think fit; and the Tribunal shall allow the superior of the feu and any such proprietor, and may allow any other person who appears to them to have an interest in the application, to be heard in relation thereto.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Where, under the provisions of this Act, a portion of a cumulo feuduty has been allocated on a part of a feu, that part of the feu shall, in relation to the rights and obligations of the proprietors of the remainder of the feu relating to payment of the remainder of the feuduty, be treated as if it had never been part of the feu and as if the portion of the feuduty allocated on it had never formed part of the cumulo feuduty.
Nothing in section 4 of this Act shall empower the Lands Tribunal to make an order which would result in any alteration of the total amount of feuduty exigible in respect of the feu which, before the making of the order, was burdened with the cumulo feuduty allocated by the order.
An order of the Lands Tribunal under section 4 of this Act allocating the whole of the cumulo feuduty to which the order relates shall supersede for all purposes any existing apportionment of that feuduty.
Where an application is made to the Lands Tribunal under section 4 of this Act in respect of a notice relating to a cumulo feuduty, any notice of allocation relating to that feuduty shall be of no effect.

Section 16 of the Conveyancing (Scotland) Act 1924 (prescription following on title and possession) shall have effect, except in relation to any claim as against the Crown to the ownership of any foreshore or salmon fishings , with the substitution for the references to 20 years of references to 10 years.
The provisions of subsection (1) of this section shall not be pleadable to any effect in any action in dependence at the commencement of this Act, or in any action which shall be commenced prior to the day occurring on the expiry of 2 years from and after such commencement (hereafter in this section referred to as " the appointed day ").
For the purposes of the said section 16, as amended by this section, possession for any space of time prior to the appointed day shall not have effect unless such space of time immediately preceded and was continuous up to that day.
The provisions of this Part of this Act shall have effect for the purpose of enabling a new form of heritable security to be created to be known as a standard security.
It shall be competent to grant and register in the Land Register of Scotland or to grant and record in the Register of Sasines a standard security over any land or real right in land, to be expressed in conformity with one of the forms prescribed in Schedule 2 to this Act.
A grant of any right over land or a real right in land for the purpose of securing any debt by way of a heritable security shall only be capable of being effected at law if it is embodied in a standard security.

Where for the purpose last-mentioned any deed which is not in the form of a standard security contains a disposition or assignation of land or of a real right in land, it shall to that extent be void and unenforceable, and where that deed has been duly registered or recorded the creditor in the purported security may be required, by any person having an interest, to grant any deed which may be appropriate to clear the Land Register of Scotland or the Register of Sasines of that security.
A standard security may be used for any other purpose for which a heritable security may be used if any of the said forms is appropriate to that purpose, and for the purpose of any enactment affecting heritable securities a standard security, if so used, or if used as is required by this Act instead of a heritable security as defined therein, shall be a heritable security for the purposes of that enactment.
The Bankruptcy Act 1696, in so far as it renders a heritable security of no effect in relation to a debt contracted after the recording of that security, and any rule of law which requires that a real burden for money may only be created in respect of a sum specified in the deed of creation, shall not apply in relation to a standard security.
An obligation to pay feuduty, ground annual, rent, skat, dry multure, teind, stipend, standard charge or other payment of a like nature, or an obligation of relief relating to any such payment.

The import of the clause relating to the personal obligation contained in Form A of Schedule 2 to this Act expressed in any standard security shall, unless specially qualified, be as follows—
where the security is for a fixed amount advanced or payable at, or prior to, the delivery of the deed, the clause undertaking to make payment to the creditor shall import an acknowledgment of receipt by the debtor of the principal sum advanced or an acknowledgment by the debtor of liability to pay that sum and a personal obligation undertaken by the debtor to repay or pay to the creditor on demand in writing at any time after the date of delivery of the standard security the said sum, with interest at the rate stated payable on the dates specified, together with all expenses for which the debtor is liable by virtue of the deed or of this Part of this Act;
where the security is for a fluctuating amount, whether subject to a maximum amount or not and whether advanced or due partly before and partly after delivery of the deed or whether to be advanced or to become due wholly after such delivery, the clause undertaking to make payment to the creditor shall import a personal obligation by the debtor to repay or pay to the creditor on demand in writing the amount, not being greater than the maximum amount, if any, specified in the deed, advanced or due and outstanding at the time of demand, with interest on each advance from the date when it was made until repayment thereof, or on each sum payable from the date on which it became due until payment thereof, and at the rate stated payable on the dates specified, together with all expenses for which the debtor is liable by virtue of the deed or of this Part of this Act.
The clause of warrandice in the forms of standard security contained in Schedule 2 to this Act expressed in any standard security shall, unless specially qualified, import absolute warrandice as regards the land or real right in land over which the security is granted and the title deeds thereof, and warrandice from fact and deed as regards the rents thereof.
The clause relating to consent to registration for execution contained in Form A of Schedule 2 to this Act expressed in any standard security shall, unless specially qualified, import a consent to registration in the Books of Council and Session, or, as the case may be, in the books of the appropriate sheriff court, for execution.
The forms of standard security contained in Schedule 2 to this Act shall, unless specially qualified, import an assignation to the creditor of the title deeds, including searches, and all conveyances not duly registered or recorded, affecting the security subjects or any part thereof, with power to the creditor in the event of a sale under the powers conferred by the security, but subject to the rights of any person holding prior rights to possession of those title deeds, to deliver them, so far as in the creditor’s possession, to the purchaser, and to assign to the purchaser any right he may possess to have the title deeds made forthcoming.
Where a standard security is duly registered or recorded, it shall operate to vest in the grantee a real right in security for the performance of the contract to which the security relates.
Subject to the provisions of this Part of this Act, the conditions set out in Schedule 3 to this Act, either as so set out or with such variations as have been agreed by the parties in the exercise of the powers conferred by the said Part (which conditions are hereinafter in this Act referred to as “the standard conditions”), shall regulate every standard security.
Subject to the provisions of this Part of this Act, the creditor and debtor in a standard security may vary any of the standard conditions, other than standard condition 11 (procedure on redemption) and the provisions of Schedule 3 to this Act relating to the powers of sale, . . . and foreclosure and to the exercise of those powers, but no condition capable of being varied shall be varied in a manner inconsistent with any condition which may not be varied by virtue of this subsection.
In this Part of this Act—
any reference to a variation of the standard conditions shall include a reference to the inclusion of an additional condition and to the exclusion of a standard condition;
any purported variation of a standard condition which contravenes the provisions of subsection (3) of this section shall be void and unenforceable.
Notwithstanding any rule of law, a standard security may be granted over land or a real right in land by a person whose title thereto has not been completed by being duly registered or recorded.
A deduction of title in a deed for the purposes of the foregoing subsection shall be expressed in the form prescribed by Note 2 or 3 of Schedule 2 to this Act, and on a deed expressing the security being registered or recorded as aforesaid the title of the grantee shall, for the purposes of the rights and obligations between the grantor and the grantee thereof and those deriving right from them, but for no other purpose, in all respects be of the same effect as if the title of the grantor of the deed to the land or real right in land ... had been duly completed; and any references to a proprietor or to a person having the last registered or recorded title shall in this Part of this Act be construed accordingly.
If the deed expressing the security is to be recorded in the Register of Sasines, the grantor must, in that deed, deduce his title to the land or real right from the person who appears in the Register of Sasines as having the last recorded title thereto.
There may be specified for the purposes of any deduction of title in pursuance of any provision of this Part of this Act any writing which it is competent to specify as a title, midcouple, or link in title for the purposes of section 5 of the Conveyancing (Scotland) Act 1924 (deduction of title).
Where the creditor in a standard security duly registered or recorded has received notice of the creation of a subsequent security over the same land or real right in land or over any part thereof, or of the subsequent assignation or conveyance of that land or real right, in whole or in part, being a security, assignation or conveyance so registered or recorded, the preference in ranking of the security of that creditor shall be restricted to security for and interest present or future due thereon (including any such interest which has accrued or may accrue) and for any expenses or outlays (including interest thereon) which may be, or may have been, reasonably incurred in the exercise of any power conferred on any creditor by the deed expressing the existing security.
the present debt incurred (whenever payable); and
any future debt which, under the contract to which the security relates, he is required to allow the debtor in the security to incur,
For the purposes of the foregoing subsection—
a creditor in an existing standard security duly registered or recorded shall not be held to have had any notice referred to in that subsection, by reason only of the subsequent registration or recording of the relevant deed in the Land Register of Scotland or Register of Sasines;
any assignation, conveyance or vesting in favour of or in any other person of the interest of the debtor in the security subjects or in any part thereof resulting from any judicial decree, or otherwise by operation of law, shall constitute sufficient notice thereof to the creditor.
Nothing in the foregoing provisions of this section shall affect—
any preference in ranking enjoyed by the Crown; and
any powers of the creditor and debtor in any heritable security to regulate the preference to be enjoyed by creditors in such manner as they may think fit.
An agreement as to the ranking among themselves of two or more standard securities which are granted over the same land or the same real right in land may be registered in the Land Register of Scotland.
Any standard security duly registered or recorded may be transferred, in whole or in part, by the creditor by an assignation in conformity with Form A or B of Schedule 4 to this Act, and upon such an assignation being duly registered or recorded, the security, or, as the case may be, part thereof, shall be vested in the assignee as effectually as if the security or the part had been granted in his favour.
An assignation of a standard security shall, except so far as otherwise therein stated, be deemed to convey to the grantee all rights competent to the grantor to the writs, and shall have the effect inter alia of vesting in the assignee—
the full benefit of all corroborative or substitutional obligations for the debt, or any part thereof, whether those obligations are contained in any deed or arise by operation of law or otherwise,
the right to recover payment from the debtor of all expenses properly incurred by the creditor in connection with the security, and
the entitlement to the benefit of any notices served and of all procedure instituted by the creditor in respect of the security to the effect that the grantee may proceed as if he had originally served or instituted such notices or procedure.
The security constituted by any standard security duly registered or recorded may be restricted, as regards any part of the land or real right in land burdened by the security, by a deed of restriction in conformity with Form C of Schedule 4 to this Act, and, upon that deed being duly registered or recorded, the security shall be restricted to the land or real right contained in the standard security other than the part of that land or real right disburdened by the deed; and the land or real right thereby disburdened shall be released from the security wholly or to the extent specified in the deed.
A partial discharge and deed of restriction of a standard security, which has been duly registered or recorded, may be combined in one deed, which shall be in conformity with Form D of the said Schedule 4.
Any alteration in the provisions (including any standard condition) of a standard security duly registered or recorded, other than an alteration which may appropriately be effected by an assignation, discharge or restriction of that standard security, or an alteration which involves an addition to, or an extension of, the land or real right in land mentioned therein, may be effected by a variation endorsed on the standard security in conformity with Form E of Schedule 4 to this Act, or by a variation contained in a separate deed in a form appropriate for that purpose, duly registered or recorded in either case.
Where a standard security has been duly registered or recorded, but the personal obligation or any other provision (including any standard condition) relating to the security has been created or specified in a deed which has not been so registered or recorded, nothing contained in this section shall prevent any alteration in that personal obligation or provision, other than an alteration which may be appropriately effected by an assignation, discharge or restriction of the standard security, or an alteration which involves an addition to, or an extension of, the land or real right in land mentioned therein, by a variation contained in any form of deed appropriate for that purpose, and such a variation shall not require to be registered in the Land Register of Scotland or recorded in the Register of Sasines.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Any variation effected in accordance with this section shall not prejudice any other security or right over the same land or real right in land, or over any part thereof, effectively constituted before the variation is registered or recorded, or, where the variation is effected by an unregistered or unrecorded deed, before that deed is executed, as the case may be.
A standard security duly registered or recorded may be discharged, and the land or real right in land burdened by that security may be disburdened thereof, in whole or in part, by a discharge in conformity with Form F of Schedule 4 to this Act, duly registered or recorded.
Subject to the provisions of subsection (1A) of this section, The debtor in a standard security or, where the debtor is not the proprietor, the proprietor of the security subjects shall be entitled to redeem the security on giving two months’ notice of his intention so to do, and in conformity with the terms of standard condition 11 and the appropriate Forms of Schedule 5 to this Act.
Where owing to the death or absence of the creditor, or to any other cause, the debtor in a standard security or, as the case may be, the proprietor of the security subjects (being in either case a person entitled to redeem the security) is unable to obtain a discharge under the foregoing provisions of this section may—
where the security was granted in respect of any obligation to repay or pay money, consign in any bank in Scotland, incorporated by or under Act of Parliament or by Royal Charter, the whole amount due to the creditor on redemption, other than any unascertained expenses of the creditor, for the person appearing to have the best right thereto, and
in any other case, apply to the court for declarator that the whole obligations under the contract to which the security relates have been performed.
Without prejudice to section 11 of the Land Tenure Reform (Scotland) Act 1974 the provisions of the foregoing subsection shall be subject to any agreement to the contrary, but any right to redeem the security shall be exercisable in conformity with the terms and Forms referred to in that subsection.
On consignation, or on the court granting declarator as aforesaid, a certificate to that effect may be expede by a solicitor in the appropriate form prescribed by Form D of Schedule 5 to this Act, which on being duly registered or recorded shall disburden the land or real right in land, to which the standard security relates, of that security.
For the purposes of this section, “whole amount due” means the debt to which the security relates, so far as outstanding, and any other sums due thereunder by way of interest or otherwise.
Where a creditor in a standard security intends to require discharge of the debt thereby secured and, failing that discharge, to exercise any power conferred by the security to sell any subjects of the security or any other power which he may appropriately exercise on the default of the debtor within the meaning of standard condition 9(1)(a), he shall serve a notice calling-up the security in conformity with Form A of Schedule 6 to this Act (hereinafter in this Act referred to as a “calling-up notice”), in accordance with the following provisions of this section.
Subject to the following provisions of this section, a calling-up notice shall be served on the person having the last registered or recorded title to the security subjects and appearing in the Land Register of Scotland or on the record of the Register of Sasines as the proprietor, and should the proprietor of those subjects, or any part thereof, be dead then on his representative or the person entitled to the subjects in terms of the last registered or recorded title thereto, notwithstanding any alteration of the succession not appearing in the Land Register of Scotland or Register of Sasines.
Where the person having the last registered or recorded title to the security subjects was an incorporated company which has been removed from the Register of Companies, or a person deceased who has left no representatives, a calling-up notice shall be served on the Lord Advocate and, where the estates of the person having the last registered or recorded title have been sequestrated under the Bankruptcy (Scotland) Act 2016, the notice shall be served on the trustee in the sequestration (unless such trustee has been discharged) as well as on the bankrupt.
If the proprietor be a body of trustees, it shall be sufficient if the notice is served on a majority of the trustees having title to the security subjects.
It shall be an obligation on the creditor to serve a copy of the calling-up notice on any other person against whom he wishes to preserve any right of recourse in respect of the debt.
For the purposes of the foregoing provisions of this section, the service of a calling-up notice may be made by delivery to the person on whom it is desired to be served or the notice may be sent by registered post or by the recorded delivery service to him at his last known address, or, in the case of the Lord Advocate, at the Crown Office, Edinburgh, and an acknowledgment, signed by the person on whom service has been made, in conformity with Form C of Schedule 6 to this Act, or, as the case may be, a certificate in conformity with Form D of that Schedule, accompanied by the postal receipt shall be sufficient evidence of the service of that notice; and if the address of the person on whom the notice is desired to be served is not known, or if it is not known whether that person is still alive, or if the packet containing a calling-up notice is returned to the creditor with an intimation that it could not be delivered, that notice shall be sent to the Extractor of the Court of Session, and shall be equivalent to the service of a calling-up notice on the person on whom it is desired to be served.
For the purposes of the last foregoing subsection, an acknowledgment of receipt by the said Extractor on a copy of a calling-up notice shall be sufficient evidence of the receipt by him of that notice.
A calling-up notice served by post shall be held to have been served on the next day after the day of posting.
Where a creditor in a standard security has indicated in a calling-up notice that any sum and any interest thereon due under the contract may be subject to adjustment in amount, he shall, if the person on whom notice has been served so requests, furnish the debtor with a statement of the amount as finally determined within a period of one month from the date of service of the calling-up notice, and a failure by the creditor to comply with the provisions of this subsection shall cause the calling-up notice to be of no-effect.
The period of notice mentioned in the calling-up notice may be effectively dispensed with or shortened by the person on whom it is served, with the consent of the creditors, if any, holding securitiespari passuwith, or postponed to, the security held by the creditor serving the calling-up notice, by a minute written or endorsed upon the said notice, or a copy thereof, in conformity with Form C of Schedule 6 to this Act. Provided that, without prejudice to the foregoing generality, if the standard security is over a matrimonial home as defined in section 22 of the Matrimonial Homes (Family Protection) (Scotland) Act 1981, the spouse on whom the calling-up notice has been served may not dispense with or shorten the said period without the consent in writing of the other spouse.
Subject to subsection (12) below, a calling-up notice shall cease to have effect for the purpose of a sale in the exercise of any power conferred by the security on the expiration of a period of five years, which period shall run—
in the case where the subjects of the security, or any part thereof, have not been offered for or exposed to sale, from the date of the notice,
in the case where there has been such an offer or exposure, from the date of the last offer or exposure.
Subsection (10B) below applies where the calling-up notice relates to a standard security over land or a real right in land used to any extent for residential purposes.
The period of notice mentioned in the calling-up notice may be shortened under subsection (10) above only with the consent in writing (in addition to any other consent required by that subsection) of—
any person entitled to make an application under section 24B(1) of this Act as an entitled resident falling within paragraph (d), (e) or (f) of section 24C(1), and
where the debtor in the standard security is not the proprietor—
the debtor, and
if the standard security is over a matrimonial home or a family home (within the definitions in section 23A(3)), the debtor's spouse or civil partner.
A calling-up notice calling up a standard security over land or a real right in land used to any extent for residential purposes ceases to have effect on the expiration of a period of 5 years from the date of the notice.
Where the debtor in a standard security is in default within the meaning of standard condition 9(1)(a), the creditor may exercise such of his rights under the security as he may consider appropriate, and any such right shall be in addition to and not in derogation from any other remedy arising from the contract to which the security relates or from any right conferred by any enactment or by any rule of law on the creditor in a heritable security.
Where the debtor is in default as aforesaid, the creditor shall have the right to sell the security subjects, or any part thereof, in accordance with the provisions of this Part of this Act.
A creditor in a standard security who is in lawful possession of the security subjects may let the security subjects, or any part thereof, for any period not exceeding seven years, or may make application to the court for warrant to let those subjects, or any part thereof, for a period exceeding seven years, and the application shall state the proposed tenant, and the duration and conditions of the proposed lease, and shall be served on the proprietor of the subjects and on any other heritable creditor having interest as such a creditor in the subjects.
Where the standard security is over land or a real right in land used to any extent for residential purposes, the creditor is entitled to exercise the rights specified in standard condition 10(2) and (3) (and mentioned in subsections (1) and (2) above) only—
where the conditions in section 23A of this Act are satisfied, or
with the warrant of the court, granted on an application under section 24 of this Act.
The court, on such an application as aforesaid and after such inquiry and such further intimation of the application as it may think fit, may grant the application as submitted, or subject to such variation as it may consider reasonable in all the circumstances of the case, or may refuse the application.
There shall be deemed to be assigned to a creditor who is in lawful possession of the security subjects all rights and obligations of the proprietor relating to—
leases, or any permission or right of occupancy, granted in respect of those subjects or any part thereof, and
the management and maintenance of the subjects and the effecting of any reconstruction, alteration or improvement reasonably required for the purpose of maintaining the market value of the subjects.
Where a creditor in a standard security over land or a real right in land used to any extent for residential purposes serves a calling-up notice, he shall serve a notice in conformity with Form BB (notice to occupier) of Schedule 6 to this Act together with a copy of the calling-up notice.
Notices under subsection (1) above shall be sent by recorded delivery letter addressed to “The Occupier” at the security subjects.
If a creditor fails to comply with subsections (1) and (2) above, the calling-up notice shall be of no effect.
Where the debtor in a standard security is in default within the meaning of standard condition 9(1)(b), and the default is remediable, the creditor may, without prejudice to any other powers he may have by virtue of this Act or otherwise, proceed in accordance with the provisions of this section to call on the debtor and on the proprietor, where he is not the debtor, to purge the default.
For the aforesaid purpose the creditor may serve on the debtor and, as the case may be, on the proprietor a notice in conformity with Form B of Schedule 6 to this Act (hereinafter in this Act referred to as a “notice of default”) which shall be served in the like manner and with the like requirements as to proof of service as a calling-up notice.
For the purpose of dispensing with, or shortening, the period of notice mentioned in a notice of default, subsections (10) and (10B) of section 19 of this Act shall apply as they apply in relation to a calling-up notice.
Sections 19A and 19B of this Act apply where the creditor serves a notice of default as they apply where he serves a calling-up notice.
Notwithstanding the failure to comply with any requirement contained in the notice, a notice of default shall cease to be authority for the exercise of the rights mentioned in section 23(2) of this Act on the expiration of a period of five years from the date of the notice.
Where a creditor in a standard security over an interest in land used to any extent for residential purposes serves a calling-up notice, the creditor shall give notice of that fact to the local authority in whose area the security subjects are situated, unless the creditor is that local authority.
Notice under subsection (1) shall be given in the form and manner prescribed under section 11(3) of the Homelessness etc. (Scotland) Act 2003 (asp 10).
Where a person on whom a notice of default has been served considers himself aggrieved by any requirement of that notice he may, within a period of fourteen days of the service of the notice, object to the notice by way of application to the court; and the applicant shall, not later than the lodging of that application, serve a copy of his application on the creditor, and on any other party on whom the notice has been served by the creditor.
On any such application the court, after hearing the parties and making such inquiry as it may think fit, may order the notice appealed against to be set aside, in whole or in part, or otherwise to be varied, or to be upheld.
The respondent in any such application may make a counter-application craving for any of the remedies conferred on him by this Act or by any other enactment relating to heritable securities, and the court may grant any such remedy as aforesaid as it may think proper.
For the purposes of such a counter-application as aforesaid, a certificate which conforms with the requirements of Schedule 7 to this Act may be lodged in court by the creditor, and that certificate shall be prima facie evidence of the facts directed by the said Schedule to be contained therein.
Where a person does not object to a notice of default in accordance with the provisions of the last foregoing section, or where he has so objected and the notice has been upheld or varied under that section, it shall be his duty to comply with any requirement, due to be performed or fulfilled by him, contained in the notice or, as the case may be, in the notice as so varied.
Subject to the provisions of section 21(4) of this Act and subsection (4) below, where a person fails to comply as aforesaid, the creditor, subject to the next following subsection, may proceed to exercise such of his rights on default under standard condition 10(2), (6) and (7) as he may consider appropriate.
At any time after the expiry of the period stated in a notice of default, or in a notice varied as aforesaid, but before the conclusion of any enforceable contract to sell the security subjects, or any part thereof, by virtue of the last foregoing subsection, the debtor or proprietor (being in either case a person entitled to redeem the security) may, subject to any agreement to the contrary, redeem the security without the necessity of observance of any requirement as to notice.
Where the standard security is over land or a real right in land used to any extent for residential purposes—
the creditor is entitled to exercise the right specified in standard condition 10(2) only—
where the conditions in section 23A of this Act are satisfied, or
with the warrant of the court, granted on an application under section 24 of this Act, and
subsection (3) above has effect as if the reference to the last foregoing subsection were a reference to section 24 of this Act.
Without prejudice to his proceeding by way of notice of default in respect of a default within the meaning of standard condition 9(1)(b), a creditor in a standard security, where the debtor is in default within the meaning of that standard condition or standard condition 9(1)(c), may apply to the court for warrant to exercise any of the remedies which he is entitled to exercise on a default within the meaning of standard condition 9(1)(a).
For the purposes of an application under subsection (1) or (1B) in respect of a default within the meaning of standard condition 9(1)(b), a certificate which conforms with the requirements of Schedule 7 to this Act may be lodged in court by the creditor, and that certificate shall be prima facie evidence of the facts directed by the said Schedule to be contained therein.
Subsection (1) above does not apply in relation to a creditor in a standard security over land or a real right in land used to any extent for residential purposes.
A creditor in a standard security of that kind may, where the debtor is in default within the meaning of paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of standard condition 9(1), apply to the court for warrant to exercise any of the remedies which the creditor is entitled to exercise on a default within the meaning of standard condition 9(1)(a).
Before making an application under subsection (1B) above the creditor must comply with the pre-action requirements imposed by section 24A of this Act.
An application under subsection (1B) above is to be made by summary application (regardless of whether it includes a crave for any other remedy).
Where the creditor applies to the court under subsection (1B) above, he shall, . . . —
serve on the debtor and (where the proprietor is not the debtor) on the proprietor a notice in conformity with Form E of Schedule 6 to this Act, . . .
serve on the occupier of the security subjects a notice in conformity with Form F of that Schedule, and
give notice of the application to the local authority in whose area the security subjects are situated, unless the creditor is that local authority.
Notices under subsection (3)(a) or (b) above shall be sent by recorded delivery letter addressed—
in the case of a notice under subsection (3)(a), to the debtor or, as the case may be, the proprietor at his last known address,
in the case of a notice under subsection (3)(b), to “The Occupier” at the security subjects.
Notice under subsection (3)(c) above shall be given in the form and manner prescribed under section 11(3) of the Homelessness etc. (Scotland) Act 2003 (asp 10).
The court may, on an application under subsection (1B) above, continue the proceedings or make any other order that it thinks fit; but it may not grant the application unless it is satisfied that—
the creditor has complied with subsection (1C) above; and
it is reasonable in the circumstances of the case to do so.
In considering an application under subsection (1B) above where the debtor appears or is represented, the court is to have regard in particular to the matters set out in subsection (7) below.
Those matters are—
the nature of and reasons for the default;
the ability of the debtor to fulfil within a reasonable time the obligations under the standard security in respect of which the debtor is in default;
any action taken by the creditor to assist the debtor to fulfil those obligations;
where appropriate, participation by the debtor in a debt payment programme approved under Part 1 of the Debt Arrangement and Attachment (Scotland) Act 2002; and
the ability of the debtor and any other person residing at the security subjects to secure reasonable alternative accommodation.
Subsections (5) and (6) above do not affect— by virtue of any other enactment or rule of law.
any power that the court may have; or
any rights that the debtor may have,
Where— the standard security has effect as if the default had not occurred.
the default in respect of which an application is made under subsection (1B) above is a default within the meaning of paragraph (a) or (b) of standard condition 9(1); and
before a decree is granted on the application, the obligations under the standard security in respect of which the debtor is in default are fulfilled,
For the avoidance of doubt, a decree granted on an application under subsection (1B) above is not an order for possession of a house let on an assured tenancy (within the meaning of Part II of the Housing (Scotland) Act 1988 (c.43)).
A creditor in a standard security having right to sell the security subjects may , subject to sections 37(5)(e) or 40(1) of the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003 (asp 2) (prohibition of transfer of land registered under that Act except in accordance with its provisions), exercise that right either by private bargain or by exposure to sale, and in either event it shall be the duty of the creditor to advertise the sale and to take all reasonable steps to ensure that the price at which all or any of the subjects are sold is the best that can be reasonably obtained.
Where a creditor in a standard security has effected a sale of the security subjects, or any part thereof, and grants to the purchaser or his nominee a disposition of the subjects sold thereby, which bears to be in implement of the sale, then, on that disposition being duly registered or recorded, those subjects shall be disburdened of the standard security and of all other heritable securities and diligences rankingpari passuwith, or postponed to that security.
Where on a sale as aforesaid the security subjects remain subject to a prior security, the registration or recording of a disposition under the foregoing subsection shall not affect the rights of the creditor in that security, but the creditor who has effected the sale shall have the like right as the debtor to redeem the security.
The conditions referred to in sections 20(2A)(a) and 23(4)(a)(i) are that—
the security subjects are unoccupied; and
each of the persons specified in subsection (2) below has, in writing—
certified that that person does not occupy the security subjects and is not aware of the security subjects being occupied by any other person;
consented to the exercise by the creditor of the creditor's rights on default; and
certified that the consent is given freely and without coercion of any kind.
Those persons are—
the debtor;
the proprietor of the security subjects (where the proprietor is not the debtor);
the non-entitled spouse of the debtor or the proprietor of security subjects which are (in whole or in part) a matrimonial home;
the non-entitled civil partner of the debtor or the proprietor of security subjects which are (in whole or in part) a family home; and
a person who has occupancy rights in the security subjects by virtue of an order under section 18(1) (occupancy rights of cohabiting couples) of the Matrimonial Homes (Family Protection) (Scotland) Act 1981.
In this section—
“duly registered or recorded” means registered in the Land Register of Scotland or recorded in the Register of Sasines;
The money which is received by the creditor in a standard security, arising from any sale by him of the security subjects, shall be held by him in trust to be applied by him in accordance with the following order of priority— and any residue of the money so received shall be paid to the person entitled to the security subjects at the time of sale, or to any person authorised to give receipts for the proceeds of the sale thereof.
first, in payment of all expenses properly incurred by him in connection with the sale, or any attempted sale;
secondly, in payment of the whole amount due under any prior security to which the sale is not made subject;
thirdly, in payment of the whole amount due under the standard security, and in payment, in due proportion, of the whole amount due under a security, if any, ranking pari passu with his own security, which has been duly registered or recorded;
fourthly, in payment of any amounts due under any securities with a ranking postponed to that of his own security, according to their ranking,
Where owing to the death or absence of any other creditor, or to any other cause, a creditor is unable to obtain a receipt or discharge for any payment he is required to make under the provisions of the foregoing subsection, he may, without prejudice to his liability to account therefor, consign the amount due (so far as ascertainable) in the sheriff court for the person appearing to have the best right thereto; and where consignation is so made, the creditor shall lodge in court a statement of the amount consigned.

Where the creditor in a standard security has exposed the security subjects to sale at a price not exceeding the amount due under the security and under any security ranking prior to, or pari passu with, the security, and has failed to find a purchaser, or where, having so failed, he has succeeded in selling only a part of the subjects at a price which is less than the amount due as aforesaid, he may, on the expiration of a period of two months from the date of the first exposure to sale, apply to the court for a decree of foreclosure.
In any application under the last foregoing subsection the creditor shall lodge a statement setting out the whole amount due under the security but, without prejudice to the right of the debtor or of the proprietor to challenge that statement, it shall be sufficient for the purposes of the application for the creditor to establish to the satisfaction of the court that the amount so stated is not less than the price at which the security subjects have been exposed to sale or sold, where part of the subjects has been sold as aforesaid.
Any application under subsection (1) of this section shall be served on the debtor in the standard security, the proprietor of the security subjects (if he is a person other than the debtor) and the creditor in any other heritable security affecting the security subjects as disclosed by a search of the Register of Sasines for a period of twenty years immediately preceding the last date to which the appropriate Minute Book of the said Register has been completed at the time when the application is made or by an examination of the title sheet of the security subjects in the Land Register of Scotland.
The court may order such intimation and inquiry as it thinks fit and may in its discretion allow the debtor or the proprietor of the security subjects a period not exceeding three months in which to pay the whole amount due under the security and, subject to any such allowance, may—
appoint the security subjects or the unsold part thereof to be re-exposed to sale at a price to be fixed by the court, in which event the creditor in the security may bid and purchase at the sale, or
grant a decree of foreclosure in conformity with the provisions of the next following subsection.
A decree of foreclosure shall contain a declaration that on the extract of the decree being duly registered or recorded, any right to redeem the security has been extinguished and that the creditor has right to the security subjects or the unsold part thereof, described by means of a particular description or by reference to a description thereof as in Schedule D to the Conveyancing (Scotland) Act 1924 or in Schedule G to the Titles to Land Consolidation (Scotland) Act 1868, including a reference to any conditions or clauses affecting the subjects or the unsold part thereof or in accordance with the Land Registration etc. (Scotland) Act 2012 (asp 5) , at the price at which the said subjects were last exposed to sale under deduction of the price received for any part thereof sold, and shall also contain a warrant for registering the extract of the decree in the Land Register of Scotland or for recording the extract of the decree in the Register of Sasines.
Upon an extract of the decree of foreclosure being duly registered or recorded, the following provisions of this subsection shall have effect in relation to the security subjects to which the decree relates—
any right to redeem the security shall be extinguished, and the creditor shall have right to, and be vested in, the subjects as if he had received an irredeemable disposition thereof duly registered or recorded from the proprietor of the subjects at the date of the registration or of the recording of the extract of the decree;
the subjects shall be disburdened of the standard security and all securities and diligences postponed thereto;
the creditor who has obtained the decree shall have the like right as the debtor to redeem any security prior to, orpari passuwith, his own security.
Notwithstanding the due registration or recording of an extract of a decree of foreclosure, any personal obligation of the debtor under the standard security shall remain in full force and effect so far as not extinguished by the price at which the security subjects have been acquired and the price for which any part thereof has been sold.
Where the security subjects or any part thereof have been acquired by a creditor in the security by virtue of a decree of foreclosure under the provisions of this section, the title thereto of the creditor shall not be challengeable on the ground of any irregularity in the proceedings for foreclosure or on calling-up or default which preceded it; but nothing in the provisions of this subsection shall affect the competency of any claim for damages in respect of such proceedings against the creditor.

An Act to provide as respects Scotland for the variation and discharge of certain obligations relating to land; to facilitate the allocation of feuduties and ground annuals; to reduce the period of positive prescription of 20 years to 10 years; to provide for a new form of heritable security; to make certain amendments to the existing law relating to heritable securities; to make certain other amendments to the law relating to conveyancing; to abolish the rights of pre-emption of heritors in respect of glebes; to amend the Lands Tribunal Act 1949; and for connected purposes.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The provisions of this section and of section 2 of this Act shall, without prejudice to any other method of variation or discharge, apply for the variation or discharge of any land obligation, however constituted, and whether subsisting at the commencement of this Act or constituted thereafter: Provided that the provisions of the said sections shall not apply in relation to an obligation specified or referred to in Schedule 1 to this Act.
For the purposes of this section and of section 2 of this Act, a land obligation is an obligation relating to land which is enforceable by a proprietor of an interest in land, by virtue of his being such proprietor, and which is binding upon a proprietor of another interest in that land, or of an interest in other land, by virtue of his being such proprietor. For the purposes mentioned in this subsection, an obligation includes a future or contingent obligation, an obligation to defray or contribute towards some cost, an obligation to refrain from doing something, and an obligation to permit or suffer something to be done or maintained.
Subject to the provisions of this section and of section 2 of this Act, the Lands Tribunal, on the application of any person who, in relation to a land obligation, is a burdened proprietor, may from time to time by order vary or discharge the obligation wholly or partially in relation to the interest in land in respect of which the application is made, on being satisfied that in all the circumstances,
by reason of changes in the character of the land affected by the obligation or of the neighbourhood thereof or other circumstances which the Tribunal may deem material, the obligation is or has become unreasonable or inappropriate; or
the obligation is unduly burdensome compared with any benefit resulting or which would result from its performance; or
the existence of the obligation impedes some reasonable use of the land.
An order varying or discharging a land obligation under this section may direct the applicant to pay, to any person who in relation to that obligation is a benefited proprietor, such sum as the Lands Tribunal may think it just to award under one, but not both, of the following heads— but the Tribunal may refuse to vary or discharge a land obligation on the ground specified in subsection (3)(c) of this section if they are of the opinion that, due to exceptional circumstances related to amenity or otherwise, money would not be an adequate compensation for any loss or disadvantage which a benefited proprietor would suffer from the variation or discharge.
a sum to compensate for any substantial loss or disadvantage suffered by the proprietor as such benefited proprietor in consequence of the variation or discharge ; or
a sum to make up for any effect which the obligation produced, at the time when it was imposed, in reducing the consideration then paid or made payable for the interest in land affected by it;
The power conferred by this section to vary or discharge an obligation includes power to add or substitute any such provision (not being an award of money otherwise than by way of compensation under subsection (4) of this section) as appears to the Lands Tribunal to be reasonable as the result of the variation or discharge of the obligation and as may be accepted by the applicant; and the Tribunal may accordingly refuse to vary or discharge the obligation without some such provision.
On the taking effect of an order under this section varying or discharging to any extent a land obligation, any irritant or resolutive clause or other condition relating to the enforcement of the obligation shall, in relation to any act or omission occurring after the date of such taking effect, be effective (if at all) only in so far as it would have been effective if the obligation had to that extent been varied or discharged by the person entitled to enforce the obligation; and any such added or substituted provision as is referred to in subsection (5) of this section shall be enforceable in the same manner as the obligation to the variation or discharge of which it relates.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
On an application under section 1 of this Act, the Lands Tribunal shall give such notice thereof, whether by way of advertisement or otherwise, as may be prescribed, to the persons who, in relation to the obligation which is the subject of the application, appear to them to be either benefited or burdened proprietors, and to such other person as the Tribunal may think fit.
In an application to the Lands Tribunal under section 1 of this Act, any person who, in relation to the obligation which is the subject of the application, is either a burdened or a benefited proprietor, shall be entitled, within such time as may be prescribed, to oppose or make representations in relation to the application, and the Tribunal shall allow any such person, and may allow any other person who appears to them to be affected by the obligation or by its proposed variation or discharge, to be heard in relation to the application.
An order made under section 1 of this Act shall take effect in accordance with such rules as may be prescribed.
Where an order made under section 1 of this Act which has taken effect is duly recorded, it shall be binding on all persons having interest.
Where a land obligation is first created, whether before or after the commencement of this Act, in a conveyance, deed, instrument or writing, no application shall be brought under section 1 of this Act in relation thereto until the expiry of two years after the date of its creation.
For the purposes of this section and of section 1 of this Act,
With interest from ........................ Testing clause+
+Note 7— In the case of a traditional document, subscription of it by the granter, or in the case of form E the granter and the consenter to the variation, will be sufficient for the document to be formally valid, but witnessing of it may be necessary or desirable for other purposes (see the Requirements of Writing (Scotland) Act 1995, which also makes provision as regards the authentication of an electronic document).
shall exclude the application of section 1 of this Act to an obligation falling within sub-paragraph (i) above, and not created or imposed in connection with the use of any land as an aerodrome, only so long as the obligation is enforceable by or on behalf of the Crown; and
It shall be an obligation on the debtor—
to maintain the security subjects in good and sufficient repair to the reasonable satisfaction of the creditor;
to permit, after seven clear days notice in writing, the creditor or his agent to enter upon the security subjects at all reasonable times to examine the condition thereof;
to make all necessary repairs and make good all defects in pursuance of his obligation under head (a) of this condition within such reasonable period as the creditor may require by notice in writing.
It shall be an obligation on the debtor—
where he has received any notice or order, issued or made by virtue of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Acts 1947 to 1969 or any amendment thereof, or any proposal so made for the making or issuing of any such notice or order, or any other notice or document affecting or likely to affect the security subjects, to give to the creditor, within fourteen days of the receipt of that notice, order or proposal, full particulars thereof;
to take, as soon as practicable, all reasonable or necessary steps to comply with such a notice or order or, as the case may be, duly to object thereto;
in the event of the creditor so requiring, to object or to join with the creditor in objecting to any such notice or order or in making representations against any proposal therefor.
The creditor shall be entitled to perform any obligation imposed by the standard conditions on the debtor, which the debtor has failed to perform. Where it is necessary for the performance of any obligation as aforesaid, the creditor may, after giving seven clear days notice in writing to the debtor, enter upon the security subjects at all reasonable times. All expenses and charges (including any interest thereon), reasonably incurred by the creditor in the exercise of a right conferred by this condition, shall be recoverable from the debtor and shall be deemed to be secured by the security subjects under the standard security, and the rate of any such interest shall be the rate in force at the relevant time in respect of advances secured by the security, or, where no such rate is prescribed, shall be the bank rate in force at the relevant time.
Where the debtor is in default, the creditor may, without prejudice to his exercising any other remedy arising from the contract to which the standard security relates, exercise, in accordance with the provisions of Part II of this Act and of any other enactment applying to standard securities, such of the remedies specified in the following sub-paragraphs of this standard condition as he may consider appropriate. He may proceed to sell the security subjects or any part thereof. He may enter into possession of the security subjects and may receive or recover . . . the rents of those subjects or any part thereof. Where he has entered into possession as aforesaid, he may let the security subjects or any part thereof. Where he has entered into possession as aforesaid there shall be transferred to him all the rights of the debtor in relation to the granting of leases or rights of occupancy over the security subjects and to the management and maintenance of those subjects. He may effect all such repairs and may make good such defects as are necessary to maintain the security subjects in good and sufficient repair, and may effect such reconstruction, alteration and improvement on the subjects as would be expected of a prudent proprietor to maintain the market value of the subjects, and for the aforesaid purposes may enter on the subjects at all reasonable times. He may apply to the court for a decree of foreclosure.
shall exclude the application of section 1 of this Act to an obligation falling within sub-paragraph (ii) above, or created or imposed in connection with the use of any land as an aerodrome, only so long as the obligation is enforceable by or on behalf of the Crown or any public or international authority.

The provisions of this section and of sections 4 and 5 of this Act shall, without prejudice to any other method of allocation, apply for the purpose of allocating any cumulo feuduty, whether constituted before or after the commencement of this Act.
For the purposes of this section and of sections 4 and 5 of this Act,
“Register of Sasines” means the appropriate division of the General Register of Sasines;
It shall be an obligation on the debtor—
to complete, as soon as may be practicable, any unfinished buildings and works forming part of the security subjects to the reasonable satisfaction of the creditor;
not to demolish, alter or add to any buildings or works forming part of the security subjects, except in accordance with the terms of a prior written consent of the creditor and in compliance with any consent, licence or approval required by law;
to exhibit to the creditor at his request evidence of that consent, licence or approval.
It shall be an obligation on the debtor—
to insure the security subjects or, at the option of the creditor, to permit the creditor to insure the security subjects in the names of the creditor and the debtor to the extent of the market value thereof against the risk of fire and such other risks as the creditor may reasonably require;
to deposit any policy of insurance effected by the debtor for the aforesaid purpose with the creditor;
to pay any premium due in respect of any such policy, and, where the creditor so requests, to exhibit a receipt therefor not later than the fourteenth day after the renewal date of the policy;
to intimate to the creditor, within fourteen days of the occurrence, any occurrence which may give rise to a claim under the policy, and to authorise the creditor to negotiate the settlement of the claim;
without prejudice to any obligation to the contrary enforceable against him, to comply with any reasonable requirement of the creditor as to the application of any sum received in respect of such a claim;
to refrain from any act or omission which would invalidate the policy.
The creditor shall be entitled, subject to the terms of the security and to any requirement of law, to call-up a standard security in the manner prescribed by section 19 of this Act.
The debtor shall be entitled to exercise his right (if any) to redeem the security on giving notice of his intention so to do, being a notice in writing (hereinafter referred to as a “notice of redemption”). Nothing in the provisions of this Act shall preclude a creditor from waiving the necessity for a notice of redemption, or from agreeing to a period of notice of less than that to which he is entitled. When a notice of redemption states that a specified amount will be repaid, and it is subsequently ascertained that the whole amount due to be repaid is more or less than the amount specified in the notice, the notice shall nevertheless be effective as a notice of repayment of the amount due as subsequently ascertained. Where the debtor has exercised a right to redeem, and has made payment of the whole amount due, or has performed the whole obligations of the debtor under the contract to which the security relates, the creditor shall grant a discharge in the terms prescribed in section 17 of this Act.
The debtor shall be personally liable to the creditor for the whole expenses of the preparation and execution of the standard security and any variation, restriction and discharge thereof and, where any of those deeds are registered or recorded, the registration or recording thereof, and all expenses reasonably incurred by the creditor in calling-up the security and realising or attempting to realise the security subjects, or any part thereof, and exercising any other powers conferred upon him by the security.
Any proprietor of part of a feu may serve upon his superior or upon any other person to whom the cumulo feuduty is paid on his behalf a notice of allocation of the portion of the cumulo feuduty which has been apportioned by disposition or other document or by any other method (formal or informal) on the part of the feu of which he is proprietor.
A notice of allocation shall be in, or as nearly as may be in, such form as may be prescribed by regulations made by the Secretary of State by statutory instrument, and shall contain— and shall be signed by the proprietor or his agent.
the name and address of the proprietor serving the notice and a sufficient identification of the part of the feu of which he is proprietor and on which he wishes the portion of the cumulo feuduty to be allocated, and the name and address of the person to whom that portion is paid;
a statement of the amount of that portion ;
a statement to the effect that that portion of the feuduty is to be allocated under the Conveyancing and Feudal Reform (Scotland) Act 1970 on the part of the feu of which the person serving the notice is the proprietor;
Subject to the provisions of sections 4 and 5 of this Act, a notice of allocation shall be effective to allocate on the part of the feu of which the person serving the notice is the proprietor the portion of the cumulo feuduty stated in the notice.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
If a superior upon whom a notice of allocation has been served under section 3 of this Act wishes to object to the amount of the portion of feuduty of which allocation is sought by the proprietor serving the notice, he may, within such time as may be prescribed, apply to the Lands Tribunal, and on such application, the Tribunal (except in so far as they consider it impracticable to do so) shall by order allocate the cumulo feuduty, in such manner as they consider reasonable, on the part of the feu of which the person serving the notice is the proprietor, and on every other part of the feu which is held by a separate proprietor.
On any application to the Lands Tribunal under this section, the Tribunal shall give such notice thereof, whether by way of advertisement or otherwise, as may be prescribed, to the persons who appear to them to be proprietors of parts of the feu in respect of which the cumulo feuduty is exigible, and to such other persons as the Tribunal may think fit; and the Tribunal shall allow the superior of the feu and any such proprietor, and may allow any other person who appears to them to have an interest in the application, to be heard in relation thereto.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Where, under the provisions of this Act, a portion of a cumulo feuduty has been allocated on a part of a feu, that part of the feu shall, in relation to the rights and obligations of the proprietors of the remainder of the feu relating to payment of the remainder of the feuduty, be treated as if it had never been part of the feu and as if the portion of the feuduty allocated on it had never formed part of the cumulo feuduty.
Nothing in section 4 of this Act shall empower the Lands Tribunal to make an order which would result in any alteration of the total amount of feuduty exigible in respect of the feu which, before the making of the order, was burdened with the cumulo feuduty allocated by the order.
An order of the Lands Tribunal under section 4 of this Act allocating the whole of the cumulo feuduty to which the order relates shall supersede for all purposes any existing apportionment of that feuduty.
Where an application is made to the Lands Tribunal under section 4 of this Act in respect of a notice relating to a cumulo feuduty, any notice of allocation relating to that feuduty shall be of no effect.

Section 16 of the Conveyancing (Scotland) Act 1924 (prescription following on title and possession) shall have effect, except in relation to any claim as against the Crown to the ownership of any foreshore or salmon fishings , with the substitution for the references to 20 years of references to 10 years.
The provisions of subsection (1) of this section shall not be pleadable to any effect in any action in dependence at the commencement of this Act, or in any action which shall be commenced prior to the day occurring on the expiry of 2 years from and after such commencement (hereafter in this section referred to as " the appointed day ").
For the purposes of the said section 16, as amended by this section, possession for any space of time prior to the appointed day shall not have effect unless such space of time immediately preceded and was continuous up to that day.
The provisions of this Part of this Act shall have effect for the purpose of enabling a new form of heritable security to be created to be known as a standard security.
It shall be competent to grant and register in the Land Register of Scotland or to grant and record in the Register of Sasines a standard security over any land or real right in land, to be expressed in conformity with one of the forms prescribed in Schedule 2 to this Act.
A grant of any right over land or a real right in land for the purpose of securing any debt by way of a heritable security shall only be capable of being effected at law if it is embodied in a standard security.

Where for the purpose last-mentioned any deed which is not in the form of a standard security contains a disposition or assignation of land or of a real right in land, it shall to that extent be void and unenforceable, and where that deed has been duly registered or recorded the creditor in the purported security may be required, by any person having an interest, to grant any deed which may be appropriate to clear the Land Register of Scotland or the Register of Sasines of that security.
A standard security may be used for any other purpose for which a heritable security may be used if any of the said forms is appropriate to that purpose, and for the purpose of any enactment affecting heritable securities a standard security, if so used, or if used as is required by this Act instead of a heritable security as defined therein, shall be a heritable security for the purposes of that enactment.
The Bankruptcy Act 1696, in so far as it renders a heritable security of no effect in relation to a debt contracted after the recording of that security, and any rule of law which requires that a real burden for money may only be created in respect of a sum specified in the deed of creation, shall not apply in relation to a standard security.
An obligation to pay feuduty, ground annual, rent, skat, dry multure, teind, stipend, standard charge or other payment of a like nature, or an obligation of relief relating to any such payment.

The import of the clause relating to the personal obligation contained in Form A of Schedule 2 to this Act expressed in any standard security shall, unless specially qualified, be as follows—
where the security is for a fixed amount advanced or payable at, or prior to, the delivery of the deed, the clause undertaking to make payment to the creditor shall import an acknowledgment of receipt by the debtor of the principal sum advanced or an acknowledgment by the debtor of liability to pay that sum and a personal obligation undertaken by the debtor to repay or pay to the creditor on demand in writing at any time after the date of delivery of the standard security the said sum, with interest at the rate stated payable on the dates specified, together with all expenses for which the debtor is liable by virtue of the deed or of this Part of this Act;
where the security is for a fluctuating amount, whether subject to a maximum amount or not and whether advanced or due partly before and partly after delivery of the deed or whether to be advanced or to become due wholly after such delivery, the clause undertaking to make payment to the creditor shall import a personal obligation by the debtor to repay or pay to the creditor on demand in writing the amount, not being greater than the maximum amount, if any, specified in the deed, advanced or due and outstanding at the time of demand, with interest on each advance from the date when it was made until repayment thereof, or on each sum payable from the date on which it became due until payment thereof, and at the rate stated payable on the dates specified, together with all expenses for which the debtor is liable by virtue of the deed or of this Part of this Act.
The clause of warrandice in the forms of standard security contained in Schedule 2 to this Act expressed in any standard security shall, unless specially qualified, import absolute warrandice as regards the land or real right in land over which the security is granted and the title deeds thereof, and warrandice from fact and deed as regards the rents thereof.
The clause relating to consent to registration for execution contained in Form A of Schedule 2 to this Act expressed in any standard security shall, unless specially qualified, import a consent to registration in the Books of Council and Session, or, as the case may be, in the books of the appropriate sheriff court, for execution.
The forms of standard security contained in Schedule 2 to this Act shall, unless specially qualified, import an assignation to the creditor of the title deeds, including searches, and all conveyances not duly registered or recorded, affecting the security subjects or any part thereof, with power to the creditor in the event of a sale under the powers conferred by the security, but subject to the rights of any person holding prior rights to possession of those title deeds, to deliver them, so far as in the creditor’s possession, to the purchaser, and to assign to the purchaser any right he may possess to have the title deeds made forthcoming.
Where a standard security is duly registered or recorded, it shall operate to vest in the grantee a real right in security for the performance of the contract to which the security relates.
Subject to the provisions of this Part of this Act, the conditions set out in Schedule 3 to this Act, either as so set out or with such variations as have been agreed by the parties in the exercise of the powers conferred by the said Part (which conditions are hereinafter in this Act referred to as “the standard conditions”), shall regulate every standard security.
Subject to the provisions of this Part of this Act, the creditor and debtor in a standard security may vary any of the standard conditions, other than standard condition 11 (procedure on redemption) and the provisions of Schedule 3 to this Act relating to the powers of sale, . . . and foreclosure and to the exercise of those powers, but no condition capable of being varied shall be varied in a manner inconsistent with any condition which may not be varied by virtue of this subsection.
In this Part of this Act—
any reference to a variation of the standard conditions shall include a reference to the inclusion of an additional condition and to the exclusion of a standard condition;
any purported variation of a standard condition which contravenes the provisions of subsection (3) of this section shall be void and unenforceable.
Notwithstanding any rule of law, a standard security may be granted over land or a real right in land by a person whose title thereto has not been completed by being duly registered or recorded.
A deduction of title in a deed for the purposes of the foregoing subsection shall be expressed in the form prescribed by Note 2 or 3 of Schedule 2 to this Act, and on a deed expressing the security being registered or recorded as aforesaid the title of the grantee shall, for the purposes of the rights and obligations between the grantor and the grantee thereof and those deriving right from them, but for no other purpose, in all respects be of the same effect as if the title of the grantor of the deed to the land or real right in land ... had been duly completed; and any references to a proprietor or to a person having the last registered or recorded title shall in this Part of this Act be construed accordingly.
If the deed expressing the security is to be recorded in the Register of Sasines, the grantor must, in that deed, deduce his title to the land or real right from the person who appears in the Register of Sasines as having the last recorded title thereto.
There may be specified for the purposes of any deduction of title in pursuance of any provision of this Part of this Act any writing which it is competent to specify as a title, midcouple, or link in title for the purposes of section 5 of the Conveyancing (Scotland) Act 1924 (deduction of title).
Where the creditor in a standard security duly registered or recorded has received notice of the creation of a subsequent security over the same land or real right in land or over any part thereof, or of the subsequent assignation or conveyance of that land or real right, in whole or in part, being a security, assignation or conveyance so registered or recorded, the preference in ranking of the security of that creditor shall be restricted to security for and interest present or future due thereon (including any such interest which has accrued or may accrue) and for any expenses or outlays (including interest thereon) which may be, or may have been, reasonably incurred in the exercise of any power conferred on any creditor by the deed expressing the existing security.
the present debt incurred (whenever payable); and
any future debt which, under the contract to which the security relates, he is required to allow the debtor in the security to incur,
For the purposes of the foregoing subsection—
a creditor in an existing standard security duly registered or recorded shall not be held to have had any notice referred to in that subsection, by reason only of the subsequent registration or recording of the relevant deed in the Land Register of Scotland or Register of Sasines;
any assignation, conveyance or vesting in favour of or in any other person of the interest of the debtor in the security subjects or in any part thereof resulting from any judicial decree, or otherwise by operation of law, shall constitute sufficient notice thereof to the creditor.
Nothing in the foregoing provisions of this section shall affect—
any preference in ranking enjoyed by the Crown; and
any powers of the creditor and debtor in any heritable security to regulate the preference to be enjoyed by creditors in such manner as they may think fit.
An agreement as to the ranking among themselves of two or more standard securities which are granted over the same land or the same real right in land may be registered in the Land Register of Scotland.
Any standard security duly registered or recorded may be transferred, in whole or in part, by the creditor by an assignation in conformity with Form A or B of Schedule 4 to this Act, and upon such an assignation being duly registered or recorded, the security, or, as the case may be, part thereof, shall be vested in the assignee as effectually as if the security or the part had been granted in his favour.
An assignation of a standard security shall, except so far as otherwise therein stated, be deemed to convey to the grantee all rights competent to the grantor to the writs, and shall have the effect inter alia of vesting in the assignee—
the full benefit of all corroborative or substitutional obligations for the debt, or any part thereof, whether those obligations are contained in any deed or arise by operation of law or otherwise,
the right to recover payment from the debtor of all expenses properly incurred by the creditor in connection with the security, and
the entitlement to the benefit of any notices served and of all procedure instituted by the creditor in respect of the security to the effect that the grantee may proceed as if he had originally served or instituted such notices or procedure.
The security constituted by any standard security duly registered or recorded may be restricted, as regards any part of the land or real right in land burdened by the security, by a deed of restriction in conformity with Form C of Schedule 4 to this Act, and, upon that deed being duly registered or recorded, the security shall be restricted to the land or real right contained in the standard security other than the part of that land or real right disburdened by the deed; and the land or real right thereby disburdened shall be released from the security wholly or to the extent specified in the deed.
A partial discharge and deed of restriction of a standard security, which has been duly registered or recorded, may be combined in one deed, which shall be in conformity with Form D of the said Schedule 4.
Any alteration in the provisions (including any standard condition) of a standard security duly registered or recorded, other than an alteration which may appropriately be effected by an assignation, discharge or restriction of that standard security, or an alteration which involves an addition to, or an extension of, the land or real right in land mentioned therein, may be effected by a variation endorsed on the standard security in conformity with Form E of Schedule 4 to this Act, or by a variation contained in a separate deed in a form appropriate for that purpose, duly registered or recorded in either case.
Where a standard security has been duly registered or recorded, but the personal obligation or any other provision (including any standard condition) relating to the security has been created or specified in a deed which has not been so registered or recorded, nothing contained in this section shall prevent any alteration in that personal obligation or provision, other than an alteration which may be appropriately effected by an assignation, discharge or restriction of the standard security, or an alteration which involves an addition to, or an extension of, the land or real right in land mentioned therein, by a variation contained in any form of deed appropriate for that purpose, and such a variation shall not require to be registered in the Land Register of Scotland or recorded in the Register of Sasines.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Any variation effected in accordance with this section shall not prejudice any other security or right over the same land or real right in land, or over any part thereof, effectively constituted before the variation is registered or recorded, or, where the variation is effected by an unregistered or unrecorded deed, before that deed is executed, as the case may be.
A standard security duly registered or recorded may be discharged, and the land or real right in land burdened by that security may be disburdened thereof, in whole or in part, by a discharge in conformity with Form F of Schedule 4 to this Act, duly registered or recorded.
Subject to the provisions of subsection (1A) of this section, The debtor in a standard security or, where the debtor is not the proprietor, the proprietor of the security subjects shall be entitled to redeem the security on giving two months’ notice of his intention so to do, and in conformity with the terms of standard condition 11 and the appropriate Forms of Schedule 5 to this Act.
Where owing to the death or absence of the creditor, or to any other cause, the debtor in a standard security or, as the case may be, the proprietor of the security subjects (being in either case a person entitled to redeem the security) is unable to obtain a discharge under the foregoing provisions of this section may—
where the security was granted in respect of any obligation to repay or pay money, consign in any bank in Scotland, incorporated by or under Act of Parliament or by Royal Charter, the whole amount due to the creditor on redemption, other than any unascertained expenses of the creditor, for the person appearing to have the best right thereto, and
in any other case, apply to the court for declarator that the whole obligations under the contract to which the security relates have been performed.
Without prejudice to section 11 of the Land Tenure Reform (Scotland) Act 1974 the provisions of the foregoing subsection shall be subject to any agreement to the contrary, but any right to redeem the security shall be exercisable in conformity with the terms and Forms referred to in that subsection.
On consignation, or on the court granting declarator as aforesaid, a certificate to that effect may be expede by a solicitor in the appropriate form prescribed by Form D of Schedule 5 to this Act, which on being duly registered or recorded shall disburden the land or real right in land, to which the standard security relates, of that security.
For the purposes of this section, “whole amount due” means the debt to which the security relates, so far as outstanding, and any other sums due thereunder by way of interest or otherwise.
Where a creditor in a standard security intends to require discharge of the debt thereby secured and, failing that discharge, to exercise any power conferred by the security to sell any subjects of the security or any other power which he may appropriately exercise on the default of the debtor within the meaning of standard condition 9(1)(a), he shall serve a notice calling-up the security in conformity with Form A of Schedule 6 to this Act (hereinafter in this Act referred to as a “calling-up notice”), in accordance with the following provisions of this section.
Subject to the following provisions of this section, a calling-up notice shall be served on the person having the last registered or recorded title to the security subjects and appearing in the Land Register of Scotland or on the record of the Register of Sasines as the proprietor, and should the proprietor of those subjects, or any part thereof, be dead then on his representative or the person entitled to the subjects in terms of the last registered or recorded title thereto, notwithstanding any alteration of the succession not appearing in the Land Register of Scotland or Register of Sasines.
Where the person having the last registered or recorded title to the security subjects was an incorporated company which has been removed from the Register of Companies, or a person deceased who has left no representatives, a calling-up notice shall be served on the Lord Advocate and, where the estates of the person having the last registered or recorded title have been sequestrated under the Bankruptcy (Scotland) Act 2016, the notice shall be served on the trustee in the sequestration (unless such trustee has been discharged) as well as on the bankrupt.
If the proprietor be a body of trustees, it shall be sufficient if the notice is served on a majority of the trustees having title to the security subjects.
It shall be an obligation on the creditor to serve a copy of the calling-up notice on any other person against whom he wishes to preserve any right of recourse in respect of the debt.
For the purposes of the foregoing provisions of this section, the service of a calling-up notice may be made by delivery to the person on whom it is desired to be served or the notice may be sent by registered post or by the recorded delivery service to him at his last known address, or, in the case of the Lord Advocate, at the Crown Office, Edinburgh, and an acknowledgment, signed by the person on whom service has been made, in conformity with Form C of Schedule 6 to this Act, or, as the case may be, a certificate in conformity with Form D of that Schedule, accompanied by the postal receipt shall be sufficient evidence of the service of that notice; and if the address of the person on whom the notice is desired to be served is not known, or if it is not known whether that person is still alive, or if the packet containing a calling-up notice is returned to the creditor with an intimation that it could not be delivered, that notice shall be sent to the Extractor of the Court of Session, and shall be equivalent to the service of a calling-up notice on the person on whom it is desired to be served.
For the purposes of the last foregoing subsection, an acknowledgment of receipt by the said Extractor on a copy of a calling-up notice shall be sufficient evidence of the receipt by him of that notice.
A calling-up notice served by post shall be held to have been served on the next day after the day of posting.
Where a creditor in a standard security has indicated in a calling-up notice that any sum and any interest thereon due under the contract may be subject to adjustment in amount, he shall, if the person on whom notice has been served so requests, furnish the debtor with a statement of the amount as finally determined within a period of one month from the date of service of the calling-up notice, and a failure by the creditor to comply with the provisions of this subsection shall cause the calling-up notice to be of no-effect.
The period of notice mentioned in the calling-up notice may be effectively dispensed with or shortened by the person on whom it is served, with the consent of the creditors, if any, holding securitiespari passuwith, or postponed to, the security held by the creditor serving the calling-up notice, by a minute written or endorsed upon the said notice, or a copy thereof, in conformity with Form C of Schedule 6 to this Act. Provided that, without prejudice to the foregoing generality, if the standard security is over a matrimonial home as defined in section 22 of the Matrimonial Homes (Family Protection) (Scotland) Act 1981, the spouse on whom the calling-up notice has been served may not dispense with or shorten the said period without the consent in writing of the other spouse.
Subject to subsection (12) below, a calling-up notice shall cease to have effect for the purpose of a sale in the exercise of any power conferred by the security on the expiration of a period of five years, which period shall run—
in the case where the subjects of the security, or any part thereof, have not been offered for or exposed to sale, from the date of the notice,
in the case where there has been such an offer or exposure, from the date of the last offer or exposure.
Subsection (10B) below applies where the calling-up notice relates to a standard security over land or a real right in land used to any extent for residential purposes.
The period of notice mentioned in the calling-up notice may be shortened under subsection (10) above only with the consent in writing (in addition to any other consent required by that subsection) of—
any person entitled to make an application under section 24B(1) of this Act as an entitled resident falling within paragraph (d), (e) or (f) of section 24C(1), and
where the debtor in the standard security is not the proprietor—
the debtor, and
if the standard security is over a matrimonial home or a family home (within the definitions in section 23A(3)), the debtor's spouse or civil partner.
A calling-up notice calling up a standard security over land or a real right in land used to any extent for residential purposes ceases to have effect on the expiration of a period of 5 years from the date of the notice.
Where the debtor in a standard security is in default within the meaning of standard condition 9(1)(a), the creditor may exercise such of his rights under the security as he may consider appropriate, and any such right shall be in addition to and not in derogation from any other remedy arising from the contract to which the security relates or from any right conferred by any enactment or by any rule of law on the creditor in a heritable security.
Where the debtor is in default as aforesaid, the creditor shall have the right to sell the security subjects, or any part thereof, in accordance with the provisions of this Part of this Act.
A creditor in a standard security who is in lawful possession of the security subjects may let the security subjects, or any part thereof, for any period not exceeding seven years, or may make application to the court for warrant to let those subjects, or any part thereof, for a period exceeding seven years, and the application shall state the proposed tenant, and the duration and conditions of the proposed lease, and shall be served on the proprietor of the subjects and on any other heritable creditor having interest as such a creditor in the subjects.
Where the standard security is over land or a real right in land used to any extent for residential purposes, the creditor is entitled to exercise the rights specified in standard condition 10(2) and (3) (and mentioned in subsections (1) and (2) above) only—
where the conditions in section 23A of this Act are satisfied, or
with the warrant of the court, granted on an application under section 24 of this Act.
The court, on such an application as aforesaid and after such inquiry and such further intimation of the application as it may think fit, may grant the application as submitted, or subject to such variation as it may consider reasonable in all the circumstances of the case, or may refuse the application.
There shall be deemed to be assigned to a creditor who is in lawful possession of the security subjects all rights and obligations of the proprietor relating to—
leases, or any permission or right of occupancy, granted in respect of those subjects or any part thereof, and
the management and maintenance of the subjects and the effecting of any reconstruction, alteration or improvement reasonably required for the purpose of maintaining the market value of the subjects.
Where a creditor in a standard security over land or a real right in land used to any extent for residential purposes serves a calling-up notice, he shall serve a notice in conformity with Form BB (notice to occupier) of Schedule 6 to this Act together with a copy of the calling-up notice.
Notices under subsection (1) above shall be sent by recorded delivery letter addressed to “The Occupier” at the security subjects.
If a creditor fails to comply with subsections (1) and (2) above, the calling-up notice shall be of no effect.
Where the debtor in a standard security is in default within the meaning of standard condition 9(1)(b), and the default is remediable, the creditor may, without prejudice to any other powers he may have by virtue of this Act or otherwise, proceed in accordance with the provisions of this section to call on the debtor and on the proprietor, where he is not the debtor, to purge the default.
For the aforesaid purpose the creditor may serve on the debtor and, as the case may be, on the proprietor a notice in conformity with Form B of Schedule 6 to this Act (hereinafter in this Act referred to as a “notice of default”) which shall be served in the like manner and with the like requirements as to proof of service as a calling-up notice.
For the purpose of dispensing with, or shortening, the period of notice mentioned in a notice of default, subsections (10) and (10B) of section 19 of this Act shall apply as they apply in relation to a calling-up notice.
Sections 19A and 19B of this Act apply where the creditor serves a notice of default as they apply where he serves a calling-up notice.
Notwithstanding the failure to comply with any requirement contained in the notice, a notice of default shall cease to be authority for the exercise of the rights mentioned in section 23(2) of this Act on the expiration of a period of five years from the date of the notice.
Where a creditor in a standard security over an interest in land used to any extent for residential purposes serves a calling-up notice, the creditor shall give notice of that fact to the local authority in whose area the security subjects are situated, unless the creditor is that local authority.
Notice under subsection (1) shall be given in the form and manner prescribed under section 11(3) of the Homelessness etc. (Scotland) Act 2003 (asp 10).
Where a person on whom a notice of default has been served considers himself aggrieved by any requirement of that notice he may, within a period of fourteen days of the service of the notice, object to the notice by way of application to the court; and the applicant shall, not later than the lodging of that application, serve a copy of his application on the creditor, and on any other party on whom the notice has been served by the creditor.
On any such application the court, after hearing the parties and making such inquiry as it may think fit, may order the notice appealed against to be set aside, in whole or in part, or otherwise to be varied, or to be upheld.
The respondent in any such application may make a counter-application craving for any of the remedies conferred on him by this Act or by any other enactment relating to heritable securities, and the court may grant any such remedy as aforesaid as it may think proper.
For the purposes of such a counter-application as aforesaid, a certificate which conforms with the requirements of Schedule 7 to this Act may be lodged in court by the creditor, and that certificate shall be prima facie evidence of the facts directed by the said Schedule to be contained therein.
Where a person does not object to a notice of default in accordance with the provisions of the last foregoing section, or where he has so objected and the notice has been upheld or varied under that section, it shall be his duty to comply with any requirement, due to be performed or fulfilled by him, contained in the notice or, as the case may be, in the notice as so varied.
Subject to the provisions of section 21(4) of this Act and subsection (4) below, where a person fails to comply as aforesaid, the creditor, subject to the next following subsection, may proceed to exercise such of his rights on default under standard condition 10(2), (6) and (7) as he may consider appropriate.
At any time after the expiry of the period stated in a notice of default, or in a notice varied as aforesaid, but before the conclusion of any enforceable contract to sell the security subjects, or any part thereof, by virtue of the last foregoing subsection, the debtor or proprietor (being in either case a person entitled to redeem the security) may, subject to any agreement to the contrary, redeem the security without the necessity of observance of any requirement as to notice.
Where the standard security is over land or a real right in land used to any extent for residential purposes—
the creditor is entitled to exercise the right specified in standard condition 10(2) only—
where the conditions in section 23A of this Act are satisfied, or
with the warrant of the court, granted on an application under section 24 of this Act, and
subsection (3) above has effect as if the reference to the last foregoing subsection were a reference to section 24 of this Act.
Without prejudice to his proceeding by way of notice of default in respect of a default within the meaning of standard condition 9(1)(b), a creditor in a standard security, where the debtor is in default within the meaning of that standard condition or standard condition 9(1)(c), may apply to the court for warrant to exercise any of the remedies which he is entitled to exercise on a default within the meaning of standard condition 9(1)(a).
For the purposes of an application under subsection (1) or (1B) in respect of a default within the meaning of standard condition 9(1)(b), a certificate which conforms with the requirements of Schedule 7 to this Act may be lodged in court by the creditor, and that certificate shall be prima facie evidence of the facts directed by the said Schedule to be contained therein.
Subsection (1) above does not apply in relation to a creditor in a standard security over land or a real right in land used to any extent for residential purposes.
A creditor in a standard security of that kind may, where the debtor is in default within the meaning of paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of standard condition 9(1), apply to the court for warrant to exercise any of the remedies which the creditor is entitled to exercise on a default within the meaning of standard condition 9(1)(a).
Before making an application under subsection (1B) above the creditor must comply with the pre-action requirements imposed by section 24A of this Act.
An application under subsection (1B) above is to be made by summary application (regardless of whether it includes a crave for any other remedy).
Where the creditor applies to the court under subsection (1B) above, he shall, . . . —
serve on the debtor and (where the proprietor is not the debtor) on the proprietor a notice in conformity with Form E of Schedule 6 to this Act, . . .
serve on the occupier of the security subjects a notice in conformity with Form F of that Schedule, and
give notice of the application to the local authority in whose area the security subjects are situated, unless the creditor is that local authority.
Notices under subsection (3)(a) or (b) above shall be sent by recorded delivery letter addressed—
in the case of a notice under subsection (3)(a), to the debtor or, as the case may be, the proprietor at his last known address,
in the case of a notice under subsection (3)(b), to “The Occupier” at the security subjects.
Notice under subsection (3)(c) above shall be given in the form and manner prescribed under section 11(3) of the Homelessness etc. (Scotland) Act 2003 (asp 10).
The court may, on an application under subsection (1B) above, continue the proceedings or make any other order that it thinks fit; but it may not grant the application unless it is satisfied that—
the creditor has complied with subsection (1C) above; and
it is reasonable in the circumstances of the case to do so.
In considering an application under subsection (1B) above where the debtor appears or is represented, the court is to have regard in particular to the matters set out in subsection (7) below.
Those matters are—
the nature of and reasons for the default;
the ability of the debtor to fulfil within a reasonable time the obligations under the standard security in respect of which the debtor is in default;
any action taken by the creditor to assist the debtor to fulfil those obligations;
where appropriate, participation by the debtor in a debt payment programme approved under Part 1 of the Debt Arrangement and Attachment (Scotland) Act 2002; and
the ability of the debtor and any other person residing at the security subjects to secure reasonable alternative accommodation.
Subsections (5) and (6) above do not affect— by virtue of any other enactment or rule of law.
any power that the court may have; or
any rights that the debtor may have,
Where— the standard security has effect as if the default had not occurred.
the default in respect of which an application is made under subsection (1B) above is a default within the meaning of paragraph (a) or (b) of standard condition 9(1); and
before a decree is granted on the application, the obligations under the standard security in respect of which the debtor is in default are fulfilled,
For the avoidance of doubt, a decree granted on an application under subsection (1B) above is not an order for possession of a house let on an assured tenancy (within the meaning of Part II of the Housing (Scotland) Act 1988 (c.43)).
A creditor in a standard security having right to sell the security subjects may , subject to sections 37(5)(e) or 40(1) of the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003 (asp 2) (prohibition of transfer of land registered under that Act except in accordance with its provisions), exercise that right either by private bargain or by exposure to sale, and in either event it shall be the duty of the creditor to advertise the sale and to take all reasonable steps to ensure that the price at which all or any of the subjects are sold is the best that can be reasonably obtained.
Where a creditor in a standard security has effected a sale of the security subjects, or any part thereof, and grants to the purchaser or his nominee a disposition of the subjects sold thereby, which bears to be in implement of the sale, then, on that disposition being duly registered or recorded, those subjects shall be disburdened of the standard security and of all other heritable securities and diligences rankingpari passuwith, or postponed to that security.
Where on a sale as aforesaid the security subjects remain subject to a prior security, the registration or recording of a disposition under the foregoing subsection shall not affect the rights of the creditor in that security, but the creditor who has effected the sale shall have the like right as the debtor to redeem the security.
The conditions referred to in sections 20(2A)(a) and 23(4)(a)(i) are that—
the security subjects are unoccupied; and
each of the persons specified in subsection (2) below has, in writing—
certified that that person does not occupy the security subjects and is not aware of the security subjects being occupied by any other person;
consented to the exercise by the creditor of the creditor's rights on default; and
certified that the consent is given freely and without coercion of any kind.
Those persons are—
the debtor;
the proprietor of the security subjects (where the proprietor is not the debtor);
the non-entitled spouse of the debtor or the proprietor of security subjects which are (in whole or in part) a matrimonial home;
the non-entitled civil partner of the debtor or the proprietor of security subjects which are (in whole or in part) a family home; and
a person who has occupancy rights in the security subjects by virtue of an order under section 18(1) (occupancy rights of cohabiting couples) of the Matrimonial Homes (Family Protection) (Scotland) Act 1981.
In this section—
“duly registered or recorded” means registered in the Land Register of Scotland or recorded in the Register of Sasines;
The money which is received by the creditor in a standard security, arising from any sale by him of the security subjects, shall be held by him in trust to be applied by him in accordance with the following order of priority— and any residue of the money so received shall be paid to the person entitled to the security subjects at the time of sale, or to any person authorised to give receipts for the proceeds of the sale thereof.
first, in payment of all expenses properly incurred by him in connection with the sale, or any attempted sale;
secondly, in payment of the whole amount due under any prior security to which the sale is not made subject;
thirdly, in payment of the whole amount due under the standard security, and in payment, in due proportion, of the whole amount due under a security, if any, ranking pari passu with his own security, which has been duly registered or recorded;
fourthly, in payment of any amounts due under any securities with a ranking postponed to that of his own security, according to their ranking,
Where owing to the death or absence of any other creditor, or to any other cause, a creditor is unable to obtain a receipt or discharge for any payment he is required to make under the provisions of the foregoing subsection, he may, without prejudice to his liability to account therefor, consign the amount due (so far as ascertainable) in the sheriff court for the person appearing to have the best right thereto; and where consignation is so made, the creditor shall lodge in court a statement of the amount consigned.

Where the creditor in a standard security has exposed the security subjects to sale at a price not exceeding the amount due under the security and under any security ranking prior to, or pari passu with, the security, and has failed to find a purchaser, or where, having so failed, he has succeeded in selling only a part of the subjects at a price which is less than the amount due as aforesaid, he may, on the expiration of a period of two months from the date of the first exposure to sale, apply to the court for a decree of foreclosure.
In any application under the last foregoing subsection the creditor shall lodge a statement setting out the whole amount due under the security but, without prejudice to the right of the debtor or of the proprietor to challenge that statement, it shall be sufficient for the purposes of the application for the creditor to establish to the satisfaction of the court that the amount so stated is not less than the price at which the security subjects have been exposed to sale or sold, where part of the subjects has been sold as aforesaid.
Any application under subsection (1) of this section shall be served on the debtor in the standard security, the proprietor of the security subjects (if he is a person other than the debtor) and the creditor in any other heritable security affecting the security subjects as disclosed by a search of the Register of Sasines for a period of twenty years immediately preceding the last date to which the appropriate Minute Book of the said Register has been completed at the time when the application is made or by an examination of the title sheet of the security subjects in the Land Register of Scotland.
The court may order such intimation and inquiry as it thinks fit and may in its discretion allow the debtor or the proprietor of the security subjects a period not exceeding three months in which to pay the whole amount due under the security and, subject to any such allowance, may—
appoint the security subjects or the unsold part thereof to be re-exposed to sale at a price to be fixed by the court, in which event the creditor in the security may bid and purchase at the sale, or
grant a decree of foreclosure in conformity with the provisions of the next following subsection.
A decree of foreclosure shall contain a declaration that on the extract of the decree being duly registered or recorded, any right to redeem the security has been extinguished and that the creditor has right to the security subjects or the unsold part thereof, described by means of a particular description or by reference to a description thereof as in Schedule D to the Conveyancing (Scotland) Act 1924 or in Schedule G to the Titles to Land Consolidation (Scotland) Act 1868, including a reference to any conditions or clauses affecting the subjects or the unsold part thereof or in accordance with the Land Registration etc. (Scotland) Act 2012 (asp 5) , at the price at which the said subjects were last exposed to sale under deduction of the price received for any part thereof sold, and shall also contain a warrant for registering the extract of the decree in the Land Register of Scotland or for recording the extract of the decree in the Register of Sasines.
Upon an extract of the decree of foreclosure being duly registered or recorded, the following provisions of this subsection shall have effect in relation to the security subjects to which the decree relates—
any right to redeem the security shall be extinguished, and the creditor shall have right to, and be vested in, the subjects as if he had received an irredeemable disposition thereof duly registered or recorded from the proprietor of the subjects at the date of the registration or of the recording of the extract of the decree;
the subjects shall be disburdened of the standard security and all securities and diligences postponed thereto;
the creditor who has obtained the decree shall have the like right as the debtor to redeem any security prior to, orpari passuwith, his own security.
Notwithstanding the due registration or recording of an extract of a decree of foreclosure, any personal obligation of the debtor under the standard security shall remain in full force and effect so far as not extinguished by the price at which the security subjects have been acquired and the price for which any part thereof has been sold.
Where the security subjects or any part thereof have been acquired by a creditor in the security by virtue of a decree of foreclosure under the provisions of this section, the title thereto of the creditor shall not be challengeable on the ground of any irregularity in the proceedings for foreclosure or on calling-up or default which preceded it; but nothing in the provisions of this subsection shall affect the competency of any claim for damages in respect of such proceedings against the creditor.
