KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Minor Interests
In land law, minor interests are rights affecting registered land that cannot themselves be created or transferred by registration and are not classified as overriding interests.
Examples include equitable interests under trusts and certain equitable charges that would otherwise require registration under land charges legislation if the land were unregistered.
Under earlier legislation, these interests could be protected by notices, cautions, restrictions, or inhibitions entered on the register. Following the Land Registration Act 2002, the terminology changed, although many legal writers still use the expression “minor interests.”
