93: Procedure for removal of caveat

You could also call this:

"How to remove a caveat from a licence or management right"

Illustration for Radiocommunications Act 1989

You can ask the High Court to remove a caveat from a management right or spectrum licence. You can do this if you are a manager or rightholder, or if you have a registered interest in the management right or spectrum licence. The court will make a decision after you have served notice of your application to the person who lodged the caveat. You need to prove that you have served notice to the caveator or the person on whose behalf the caveat was lodged. The court can then make an order to remove the caveat, and it can do this with or without a full court hearing. The court will make a decision based on what it thinks is best.
