Section 112
Caveator’s liability for compensation
(1)
Any person who has sustained damage, or who has incurred costs or expenses, by reason of a caveat having been lodged, or having been allowed to remain, wrongfully or vexatiously or without reasonable cause, may bring an action against the caveator or his personal representatives for compensation, or may claim compensation in any suit between the caveator and caveatee, and the Court may award such sum as seems just.
(2)
In any action or suit in which the Court orders the withdrawal or removal of a caveat, or in which it declines to extend the currency of a caveat, it may also grant an injunction restraining the caveator or any party to the action or suit from lodging another caveat in the same matter.
(3)
For the purposes of this section, a caveator shall be deemed to allow a caveat to remain without reasonable cause if he fails to withdraw it within 3 months of the day on which his right to the interest claimed terminates.[108
