(b) if the debt recovery order has been registered as a charge on land, by applying to the Registrar-General for a cancellation of that registration.

(2) The Chief Commissioner must give notice in writing of the cancellation of debt recovery action—

(a) to the Sheriff, if a property seizure order has already been made in relation to the State debt, and

(b) to any person on whom a garnishee order that is revoked as a result of the cancellation is required to be served.
