Land Title Act 1994

A caveat may be lodged by any of the following—

a person claiming an interest in a lot;

the registrar under section 17;

the registered owner of the lot;

a person to whom an Australian court has ordered that an interest in a lot be transferred;

a person who has the benefit of a subsisting order of an Australian court in restraining a registered proprietor from dealing with a lot.

However a caveat may only be lodged by an equitable mortgagee if it is a caveat to which section 126 applies.

To remove any doubt, it is declared that an interest in a lot does not include an interest in a proposed lot under the Land Sales Act 1984 that a person obtains by agreeing to buy the lot under a contract for the sale of the lot.
