146. In each registration division where there is no land register within the meaning of article 2972 of the new Code, the index of immovables, the existing cadastral plans and where applicable, existing books of reference, the mining register and the supplementary card-index file of names are continued, together with the index of names and the complementary register of entries made in the margin of applications which are part of the records of the registry office.
Notwithstanding article 3035 of the new Code, until a file is opened for an immovable situated in territory without a cadastral survey, an application not evidencing a real right established by agreement but concerning the immovable gives rise to registration in the index of names.
From 1 January 1994, the mining register will be known as the register of real rights of State resource development, and the card-index file of the holders of mining rights will be known as the Directory of holders of real rights.
