Key legal question
Whether the time spent by the land registry office on post-notarization and related administrative work was excessive and had to be reduced.
Extracted holding
The recorded three hours were reasonable in view of the range of tasks required, so no further reduction was warranted.
Extracted reasoning
Under GT § 3, fees depend on time and work effort. The office had to handle multiple necessary tasks, and routine elements still required careful checking. The prior reduction from five to three hours was already adequate.
