A judgment creditor holding a warrant of seizure and sale over land is a 'person adversely affected' by a caveat within the meaning of s 90(3) of the Transfer of Land Act 1958 (Vic) and has standing to apply for caveat removal, notwithstanding that a judgment debt does not create a proprietary interest in the land. Sections 89A and 90(3) provide separate and discrete alternative procedures with different standing requirements; s 90(3) is not to be read down by reference to the narrower standing requirement in s 89A.
