15. Tacking of further advances
Feedback & supportLast amended by an amending law.
Despite any other provision of this Act, a prior mortgagee of land has the right to make further advances giving further credit or accommodation to rank in priority to subsequent mortgages —
prior mortgagee
“prior mortgagee” includes a prior chargee or assignee in whose favour an estate or interest in respect of land was mortgaged, charged or assigned by way of mortgage;
if the prior mortgage authorises the making of further advances, or the giving of credit in instalments or on a current, revolving or continuing account or other accommodation; or
where the prior mortgage does not expressly authorise the making of the further advances, or for the giving of credit in instalments or on a current, revolving or continuing account or other accommodation, if the subsequent mortgagee agrees to the further advances being made or the credit or other accommodation being given.
Except as provided in this section, the right to tack does not apply to mortgages.
