Clause 141

Unless extended in the manner provided by this section, a restriction shall cease to be enforceable against assigns of the servient land at the expiration of 20 years from the date of entry of a notification thereof on the land-register, and the Registrar shall cancel that notification.

A restriction which has not become unenforceable may from time to time be extended by an instrument in the approved form executed by any person having an interest in the dominant land and entitled to the benefit of the restriction, and the Registrar shall notify any such extension on each folio on which the restriction is notified.

Each instrument of extension may prolong the duration of a restriction for a period of 10 years from the date on which the instrument of extension has been notified in the land-register.

Where for any reason (other than the expiration of the period referred to in subsection (1) and of any extension of that period) a restriction would have become unenforceable, an instrument of extension shall not prolong the duration of the restriction beyond the time for which it would otherwise have enured.

Where the dominant land is not under the provisions of this Act, the Registrar, for the purpose of entering a notification of any instrument of extension executed by a person claiming to have an interest in that land, shall not be concerned to investigate the title to that land; but such a notification shall not prolong the duration of the restriction unless the person executing the instrument of extension was, at the relevant time, entitled to the interest which he claimed to have.

Any restriction extended pursuant to this section shall enure for the benefit of every person who, during the period of the extension, is entitled to an interest in the dominant land.
