13. If registration decisions are not taken by a person with a professional qualification, how are they taken?

Entries in the Land Register may only be made following a decree of the land register judge.

The land register judge is supported by a registrar, who is deeply involved in all the phases of the procedure.

The land registrar will first of all compare the application with the status of property in land books at the moment of presentation. Having studied both, he will decide whether accept or reject, without listening to interested parties and without taking into consideration other elements such as for instance other documents. Land registrars are not entitled to rely on different means for taking a decision, not beyond the registrations related to properties in LR books and the documents presented.

In case of rejection, it is necessary to motivate it and it is also possible a partial rejection.

14. Is the decision to register a legal, judicial or administrative function (or mixed)?

It is Judicial.
