  • 167 (1) If an application has been made, and no other pending application is affected by it, the applicant may withdraw the application as to all or a part of the land comprised in it at any time before registration, on terms the registrar considers proper.
  • (2) If the person making the application is
  • (a) an agent who is not a solicitor, or notary public under the Notaries Act, or
  • (b) one of several owners acting on behalf of the person and the other owners,
  • the registrar may refuse to allow the applicant to withdraw the application until the applicant produces the written consent, properly verified, of the applicant’s principal or, as the case may be, the other owners.
  • (3) If a caveat has been lodged contesting the applicant’s right to registration, the registrar may refuse to allow the application to be withdrawn until the applicant has paid the caveator a sum the Supreme Court on application may set, and the court may, by order, direct the applicant to pay reasonable compensation for the costs and expenses to which the caveator has been put because of the application.
  • (4) An application that has been withdrawn is void.
