Sample Property Section Styles - Salmon Fishings

Under the 2012 Act, a separate legal tenement constitutes a plot of land, and the Keeper must make up and maintain a title sheet for each registered plot of land. Salmon fishings, being a separate legal tenement, are treated as a plot of land, and an ownership title relating to salmon fishings will have its own title sheet and cadastral unit.

A lease of salmon fishings will also have its own title sheet, and will make reference to the cadastral unit for the ownership of the salmon fishings - see Sample Property Section Styles - Leases and sub-leases for general examples of property sections for leases of whole & part.

When entering the property description into the property section of a salmon fishings title sheet, the right to the fishings must be included as well as a description of the area. The style of property section description to be used will be dependent upon the style used to describe the fishings in the application - precise extent, or within a larger area. If the salmon fishings are described by reference to a larger area, the wording of the deed (i.e. the part detailing exactly what rights are being registered) should be carried forward to give a clear description of exactly which rights are included within the title.

Only a few examples of salmon fishings property sections have been given below - if the examples cannot be adapted to fit with the application you are working on, please refer to a senior adviser for guidance.
