79 Amending priority of mortgages
(1) The priority of registered mortgages may be amended by
registering an instrument amending priority.
(2) The instrument amending priority must:
(a) specify the order of priority of all affected registered
mortgages; and
(b) be executed by all mortgagees affected by the amendment.
(3) On the instrument being registered the mortgages have priority in
the order specified in the instrument.
(4) If there is a registered mortgage intervening between any
2 mortgages whose priority an instrument under subsection (1)
purports to vary, the Registrar-General must not register the
memorandum unless the proprietor of the intervening mortgage is
also a party to it.
