Remedies of caveatee
127.—(1)  At any time after the lodgment of a caveat, the caveatee may summon the caveator to attend before the court to show cause why the caveat should not be withdrawn or otherwise removed, and the court may make such order, whether in the absence of the caveator or otherwise, as seems just.
[Act 25 of 2021 wef 01/04/2022]
(2)  A caveatee who contends that a caveat has been lodged, or is being allowed to remain, vexatiously or frivolously or not in good faith, may lodge with the Registrar an application to that effect, whereupon the Registrar must give notice to the caveator that he or she intends to cancel the notification of the caveat, and the Registrar must cancel it unless within 30 days from the date of the service of the notice an order by the court to the contrary is served on the Registrar.
[8/2014]
(3)  In any case in which the Registrar, after giving the notice under subsection (2) to the caveator, does not cancel the notification of a caveat under this section, the Registrar must inform the caveatee that the Registrar has withdrawn or extended the time of the notice of intended cancellation, as the case may be.
(4)  A caveator who has been given notice under subsection (2) may, at any time during the currency of the notice, apply to the court for relief, and the court may make such order in the premises as seems just.
(5)  Subsections (2), (3) and (4) apply only to caveats affecting registered land.
(6)  For the purposes of this section, a person claiming an estate or interest in the land under another caveat is deemed to be a caveatee.
