Bankruptcy and Diligence etc. (Scotland) Act 2007

Section 156 – Termination of effect of inhibition

432.This section repeals the second reference to “inhibitions” in section 44(3)(a) of the Conveyancing (Scotland) Act 1924 and inserts section 44(3)(aa). Both amendments have the effect of clarifying that all inhibitions will cease to have effect after 5 years have expired from the date on which they come into force. They are not, therefore, subject to the 5-year negative prescription period nor to the rules on interruption or extension of that period.
