Cancellation of priority notice by Registrar-General
154F Cancellation of priority notice by Registrar-General
Subject to subsection (2), if the Registrar‑General is satisfied, on application by a person with an interest in land in relation to which a priority notice is in force, that the priority notice purports to protect the priority of an instrument that is unlikely to be registered or recorded within 90 days of the day on which the notice was lodged, the Registrar‑General may cancel the notice.
The
Registrar‑General must, before cancelling a priority notice under subsection (1)—
give the person who lodged the priority notice written notice of the application and invite the person to provide written submissions in response to the application within a specified period (being a period of not less than 10 days from the day on which notice is given to the person); and
have regard to any submissions provided in response to the application within the specified period.
