CASE LAW

“Subcharges”

In this case, a builders lien was a “subcharge” within the meaning of s. 199 of the Act and, accordingly, could not be registered because it depended on a charge, an unregistered lease exceeding three years, which itself had not been registered (Percon Construction Management Ltd. v. British Columbia (Registrar, New Westminster Land Title Office), 1986 CanLII 871 (BC SC)).
