Forestry Act 1959

This section does not apply to a caveat prepared and registered by the registrar of titles under section 61TL(1).

The registrar of titles may cancel a caveat if a request to cancel the caveat is lodged and the registrar is satisfied—

the interest claimed by the caveator has ceased or the claim to it has been abandoned or withdrawn; or

the claim of the caveator has been settled by agreement or otherwise satisfied; or

the nature of the interest claimed does not entitle the caveator to prevent registration of a document that has been lodged.

The registrar of titles must notify the caveator of his or her intention to cancel the caveat at least 7 days before cancelling it.

If a document that has been lodged will, on registration, give full effect to an interest claimed in a caveat, the registrar of titles may remove the caveat immediately before registering the document.
