Section 116

Registration of a writ lapses, and the power of the Sheriff to execute registrable instruments pursuant thereto is extinguished, at the expiration of one year from the date of registration of the writ, and the land thereupon ceases to be bound thereby. This subsection does not prevent the registration of a renewal of a writ, or of a second or subsequent writ issued on the same judgment:Provided that nothing in this Act enables a judgment creditor by a succession of writs on the same judgment to bind land for an uninterrupted period exceeding one year.

Upon the lapsing of the registration of a writ, the Registrar shall at the request of the proprietor or of anyone claiming through him, or of his own motion, cancel the registration of the writ.

Lapsing of the registration of a writ does not prevent the registration of any instrument executed pursuant thereto and lodged for registration prior to such cancellation.[112
