Whole provisions yet to be inserted into this Act (including any effects on those provisions):

(2)The registered owner of a charge may apply to the court for the possession of the registered land, the subject of the charge, or any part of that land, and—

(b)upon so obtaining possession of the land or, as the case may be, that part thereof, he shall be deemed to be a mortgagee in possession.
(3)The power conferred on the court by sub-paragraph (2) shall not be exercised—
