What is Caveat law?
“An admonition, caution, or warning. A formal notice or warning given by a party to a judge or other court officer concerning his or her behavior and requesting a suspension of the proceeding until the merits of the notice or warning are determined.”
Caveat is a Latin term which means “let him beware”.
What is caveat and how does it work?
“Caveat” is a Latin word which means “let him or her beware.” Once a caveat has been registered against the title, anyone searching the title can see that someone else claims an interest in the land. No dealings can be registered against the title unless the caveator consents to their registration.
If the owner attempts to register any dealing (for example, transfer the land to someone else or mortgage the land), then the caveator is served with notice. The caveator must then apply to the High Court within the required time for an order that the caveat not lapse. If the caveator does not do this, the caveat will lapse and the owner will be free to deal with the land as the owner pleases. If the court orders that the caveat not lapse, then it will remain on the title until the caveat or’s claim has been dealt with by the court or withdrawn by the caveator.
How is a caveat application filed?
