Section 68 Inhibitions in consequence of discovery of error.

(1)

Whenever it appears to the Registrar that any error which may be capable of rectification has been made in registration, he may in his discretion, enter on theF1 title register such inhibition against such dealings with the land affected by such error as he may think fit for the purpose of avoiding any claim for compensation in respect of any loss occasioned by any registration made after such error is discovered and before it is rectified and of giving notice to all persons who may thereafter be affected thereby.

(2)

An inhibition entered on the title register pursuant to this section shall not—

(a)

affect any registration which is actually pending in the Land Registry; or

(b)

prevent the completion of any such registration.

(3)

Whenever the Registrar enters an inhibition on the title register pursuant to this section, he shall send notice of such inhibition, and short particulars of the error because of which it was entered, to—

(a)

all persons who appear from that register to be affected by such error; and

(b)

such other persons, if any, as he may think proper.
