Land Title Registration Law, 1986 (PNDCL 152)
Section 63:
(1) Where any person proposing to deal with any land or interest in land registered under this Law has applied for an official search under section 56 of this Law and has stated in his application the particulars of the proposed dealing, the registration of any instrument affecting the land comprised in or affected by the proposed dealing shall be stayed for a period of fourteen days (hereafter referred to as "the suspension period") from the time when the application for the search was made and a note shall be made in the land register accordingly.
(2) If within the suspension period a properly executed instrument in relation to the proposed dealing is presented for registration, such instrument shall have priority over any other instrument which may be presented for registration during the suspension period, and shall be registered notwithstanding any caveat or any other entry for which an application for registration may have been made during the suspension period.
(3) Subject to subsection (2) of this section, any instrument for which an application for registration is made during the suspension period, other than a properly executed instrument giving effect to the proposed dealing, shall be dealt with in the same manner and shall have the same priority and shall be as effectual as if no stay of registration has been obtained.
