Section 111
Remedies of caveatee
(1)
At any time after the lodgment of a caveat, the caveatee may summon the caveator to attend before the Court to show cause why the caveat should not be withdrawn or otherwise removed, and the Court may make such order in the premises, either ex parte or otherwise, as seems just.
(2)
A caveatee who contends that a caveat has been lodged, or is being allowed to remain, vexatiously or frivolously or not in good faith may lodge with the Registrar a statutory declaration to that effect, whereupon the Registrar shall give notice to the caveator that he intends to cancel the notification of the caveat, and he shall cancel it unless within 21 days from the date of the notice —
an order by the Court to the contrary is served on the Registrar; or
the caveator furnishes to the Registrar satisfactory evidence to show that the cancellation should be withheld or deferred.
(3)
In any case in which the Registrar, after giving notice to the caveator as aforesaid, does not cancel the notification of a caveat pursuant to this section, he shall inform the caveatee that he has withdrawn, or extended the time of, the notice of intended cancellation, as the case may be.
(4)
A caveator who has been given notice pursuant to subsection (2) may, at any time during the currency of the notice, apply to the Court for relief, and the Court may make such order in the premises as seems just.
(5)
Subsections (2), (3) and (4) apply only to caveats affecting registered land.[107
