On 2 July 2002, the Law Commission published a Consultation Paper entitled Registration of Security Interests: Company Charges and Property other than Land. It went relatively unnoticed and little has been published about it. You could be forgiven for not knowing that it exists, let alone the date for responses has now expired.

All of which is surprising, given that it proposes some of the most radical reforms to company and individual security registration and priority law since the Land Registration Act 1925 and affects everyone from the man on the street to insolvency practitioners.
