(a) an agreement relating to a qualifying condition has been registered under section 17, or

(b) a notice relating to a qualifying condition has been registered under section 14 or 23 to 28.

(b) the discharge of any earlier such notice has been registered by the person who registered that notice (or by that person’s successor).

(4) Where more than one qualifying lease is affected by the same qualifying condition enforceable by the same person, that person must, if that person wishes to execute and register a notice under this Part in relation to those qualifying leases in respect of that qualifying condition, do so in relation to each separately.

(5) Where a qualifying lease is affected by more than one qualifying condition enforceable by the same person, that person may—

(a) enter into and register a single agreement under section 17 in relation to that qualifying lease in respect of those qualifying conditions, or

(b) execute and register a single notice under section 14 or 23 to 28 in relation to that qualifying lease in respect of those qualifying conditions.
