Email remains popular for its convenience and ubiquity. It may surprise you to learn how far modern email has come! You can now establish a single, online communication center for each matter that allows team members to see each other’s messages. The system automatically logs emails and attachments to the matter file. As a result, everyone works with the most up-to-date information, and the entire team can deliver accurate answers quickly.

This guide gives advice about how to apply for a notice or a restriction to protect a third-party interest in a registered estate or charge. It explains the effect of existing register entries in respect of third-party interests and explains what applications may be made in respect of existing entries.
