Land Titles Act 1925

A registered proprietor to whose interest in land a caveat relates may apply to the registrar-general to have the caveat removed.

On receipt of an application under subsection (1), the registrar‑general shall—

give notice of the application to the caveator; and

not less than 14 days from the date of service of the notice, remove the caveat from the register, unless the court otherwise orders.

If the registrar-general believes on reasonable grounds that the caveator’s interest has been extinguished by the transfer of the whole of the registered proprietor’s interest to another person, the registrar‑general may—

give notice to the caveator that he or she believes that the caveator’s interest has been extinguished and that he or she intends to remove the caveat from the register; and

not less than 14 days from the date of service of the notice, remove the caveat from the register, unless within that time—

the caveator shows to the satisfaction of the registrar‑general that his or her interest has not been extinguished; or

the court otherwise orders.
