The Registrar, upon proof to his or her satisfaction of recovery of possession by a lessor or his or her transferees by any legal proceeding, may make an entry of the recovery of possession in the Register Book; and the term for which the land was leased shall upon that entry being made determine, but without prejudice to any action or cause of action which previously has been commenced or has accrued in respect of any breach or non-observance of any covenant expressed in the lease or by law declared to be implied in it.
