(1)Upon the receipt of such caveat, the Registrar shall notify the receipt to the person against whose application to be registered as proprietor or, as the case may be, to the proprietor against whose title to deal with the estate or interest the caveat has been lodged; and that applicant or proprietor or any person claiming under any transfer or other instrument signed by the proprietor may, if he or she thinks fit, summon the caveator to attend before the court to show cause why the caveat should not be removed; and the court may, upon proof that the caveator has been summoned, make such order in the premises either ex parte or otherwise, and as to costs as to it seems fit.

(2)Except in the case of a caveat lodged by or on behalf of a beneficiary claiming under any will or settlement or by the Registrar, every caveat lodged against a proprietor shall be deemed to have lapsed upon the expiration of sixty days after notice given to the caveator that the proprietor has applied for the removal of the caveat.

(3)A caveat shall not be renewed by or on behalf of the same person in respect of the same estate or interest, but if, before the expiration of the sixty days referred to in subsection (2) or such further period as is specified in any order made under this section, the caveator or his or her agent appears before the court and gives such undertaking or security, or lodges such sum in court as the court considers sufficient to indemnify every person against any damage that may be sustained by reason of any disposition of the property being delayed, then and in such case the court may direct the Registrar to delay registering any dealing with the land, lease or mortgage for a further period to be specified in such order, or may make such other order, and in either case such order as to costs as is just.
