s 85 Foreclosure of mortgages notified on land-register

85.—(1) Where before or after 1 March 1994, the court has made an order for foreclosure in respect of a mortgage to which this Division applies, the mortgagee in whose favour the foreclosure order is made must —(a) lodge an application in the approved form with the Registrar and not the Registrar of Deeds for the purpose of registering the court order; and (b) furnish the Registrar with a duly certified copy of the order.[8/2014] (2) The Registrar, upon being satisfied that the court order is in order for registration, must register the order by entering a memorial of the court order in the relevant folio. (3) A court order entered in the land-register under subsection (2) has the effect of vesting in the applicant mortgagee all the estate and interest of the mortgagor in the land referred to in the court order freed from all right and equity of redemption on the part of the mortgagor, and freed and discharged from all liability on account of any mortgage, charge or other interest registered subsequently thereto except such leases or other interests as may be binding on the applicant mortgagee. (4) The Registrar of Deeds may refuse to accept for registration a court order mentioned in subsection (1) and where the Registrar of Deeds has inadvertently accepted the order for registration, the Registrar of Deeds may cancel the registration of the order after having served 21 days’ notice on the person who presented the order for registration unless in the case of any provisional registration of the order, the person has agreed to withdraw the order from registration.
