Commentary on the Sections Part 2: First Registration of Title Chapter 2: Cautions against first registration Section 18: Cancellation
52.This section provides a procedure for the cancellation of cautions against first registration. Only the owner of the relevant estate, or such people as are prescribed by rules, can apply for cancellation. Owners who have consented to the lodging of a caution against first registration are generally prohibited by subsection (2) from applying for it to be cancelled. Rules will, however, be able to specify circumstances in which owners should be entitled to apply (where, for example, the interest protected by the caution had terminated).
