Section 95 of Land Registration Act 2012: Ancillary powers of Registrar in connection with partition
(1) If the land sought to be partitioned is capable of being partitioned generally, and the tenants in common have agreed on the partition, but the resultant share of any particular tenant would be less in acreage than the minimum prescribed under the Land Act, either generally or for the development or use of the land which that particular proprietor intends to undertake on that land, the tenants in common shall endeavour to reach a compromise on the matter, with or without the aid of mediation, and any party who is dissatisfied with that compromise or otherwise may refer that partition to the Registrar who shall—
(a) add that share to the share of any other tenant in common; or
(b) distribute that share amongst two or more other tenants in common in any proportion that, in default of agreement, the Registrar shall consider just and reasonable; and cause the value of the share added or distributed to be assessed and order that there be paid to the tenant in common of that share by each tenant in common who has received an addition to his or her share, the value of that addition.
(2) If any sum is payable under subsection (1)(b), the Registrar may order that sum be secured by way of a charge on the share of the tenant or tenants in common liable to pay that sum.
