95 Sale by mortgagee—vesting
(1) For the purposes of a sale under section 94, the registrar-general shall
register a memorandum of transfer—
(a) executed by a mortgagee or encumbrancee; and
(b) lodged in registrable form.
(2) Where a transfer is registered under subsection (1), the interest of the
mortgagor or encumbrancer in the land comprised in the transfer shall
pass to and be vested in the transferee, freed and discharged from all
liability on account of—
(a) the mortgage or encumbrance; or
(b) any other mortgage or encumbrance registered after the
registration of the interest of the mortgagor or encumbrancer but
before the registration of the transfer; or
(c) any other mortgage or encumbrance over which the
firstmentioned mortgage or encumbrance has priority under a
memorandum of variation registered under section 92A.
(3) Where—
(a) there is a caveat entered in the register in respect of the land
comprised in the transfer; and
(b) the caveat was entered in the register after the registration of the
interest of the mortgagee or encumbrancee, as the case may be;
the registrar-general may register the transfer notwithstanding the
existence of the caveat and the caveat lapses on registration of the
transfer.
(4) The registrar-general may remove from the register a caveat that has
lapsed under subsection (3).
