(b)a sum is paid, in respect of the debt constituted by the decree or document of debt authorising the inhibition, to the creditor, [F1an officer of court] or any other person who has authority to receive payment on behalf of the creditor.

(2)Where the sum paid amounts to the sum of—

(a)the debt (including any interest due under the decree or document of debt);

(b)the expenses incurred by the creditor in executing an inhibition (referred to in this section and in sections 165 and 166 as the “inhibition expenses”); and

159Termination of inhibition when property acquired by third partyS

(1)Notwithstanding section 160 of this Act, an inhibition ceases to have effect (and is treated as never having had effect) in relation to property if a person acquires the property (or a right in the property) in good faith and for adequate consideration.

(2)For the purposes of subsection (1) above, a person acquires property (or a right in the property) when the deed conveying (or granting the right in) the property is delivered to the person.

(4)For the purposes of subsection (1) above, a person is presumed to have acted in good faith if the person—

(a)is unaware of the inhibition; and

(b)has taken all reasonable steps to discover the existence of an inhibition affecting the property.
