Revised legislation carried on this site may not be fully up to date. At the current time any known changes or effects made by subsequent legislation have been applied to the text of the legislation you are viewing by the editorial team. Please see ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ for details regarding the timescales for which new effects are identified and recorded on this site.
Any person interested under an agreement, or otherwise howsoever, in any land or charge registered in the name of any other person, may lodge a caveat with the registrar to the effect that no disposition of such land or charge be made until notice has been served upon the cautioner.
The caveat shall be supported by an affidavit made by the cautioner or his agent, in such form as the registrar shall direct, stating the nature of the interest of the cautioner, and such other matters as may be required by the registrar.
After any such caveat has been lodged in respect of any land or charge, the registrar shall not register any disposition thereof until he has served notice on the cautioner, warning him that his caveat will cease to have any effect after the expiration of twenty-one days next ensuing the date of such notice; and after the expiration of such time as aforesaid the caveat shall cease, unless an order to the contrary is made by the Court of Chancery; and upon the caveat so ceasing the land or charge shall be dealt with in the same manner as if no caveat had been lodged.
If before the expiration of the said period of twenty-one days the cautioner, or some other person on his behalf, appears before the registrar, and enters into a bond, with sufficient security, conditioned to indemnify every person against any damage that may be sustained by reason of any disposition of the property being delayed, the Court of Chancery may thereupon, if it thinks fit so to do, make an order on the registrar requiring him to delay registering any disposition of the property for such further period as is mentioned in the order.
If any person lodges a caveat with the registrar, he shall be liable to make, to any person who may have sustained damage by the lodging of such caveat, such compensation as a judge of the Court of Chancery shall deem just.
