Rather than a private sale, this uses a 'statutory order' mechanism where the government formally directs the transfer.\n\n**Key terms explained:**\n- **Folio of the Register / Certificate of Title** — the official government record proving who owns land (like a car's registration papers, but for property)\n- **Gazette** — the government's official newspaper where laws and notices are published\n- **Statutory order** — a formal direction made under powers given by an Act of Parliament"},"issue_detection":{"absurdities":[],"contradictions":[]},"summary":{"complexity_score":1,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"Insufficient content is available to assess whether the scope changed from the original intent.
