Section 104

Caveats may be lodged

(1)

Any person claiming an interest in land, or any person otherwise authorised by any Act to do so, may lodge with the Registrar a caveat in the prescribed form.

(2)

A caveator may, according to the extent of his interest, forbid the registration under this Act of any instrument affecting the land against which the caveat is directed, either —

(a)

until the expiration of notice, in accordance with section 108, of the lodgment for registration of such an instrument;

(b)

unless the instrument is expressed to be subject to the interest claimed by the caveator; or

(c)

unless the caveator or some person nominated by him in the caveat has consented in writing to such registration.

(3)

For the purposes of this Part, and without limiting its generality, an interest in the proceeds of sale of land shall be deemed to be an interest in that land.

(4)

Every caveat shall be signed by the caveator or by his solicitor, and shall contain —

(a)

an accurate description of the interest claimed; and

(b)

such description as may be sufficient to identify the land intended to be affected.

(5)

Nothing in this section enables a caveator or a person nominated by him in a caveat pursuant to subsection (2)(c) to withhold his consent to any instrument evidencing a dealing which a caveatee may lawfully make.[100
