Procedure where no objection to registration.

56.—(1) If no notice of objection based on a statutory ground of objection to the registration of an agreement the subject of an application for registration under this Act is received by the county registrar within the time limited by this Act, the county registrar shall unless he refers such application to the Court under the immediately preceding section forthwith register such agreement in the register of agreements and shall notify all notice parties of such registration.

(2) Where an agreement made with a person under a disability, or any commutation agreement, redemption agreement, or agreement by way of compromise has been registered by the county registrar in accordance with this section, the Court may on the application of any notice party made within six months from the date of such registration make an order cancelling such registration if satisfied that such agreement was obtained by fraud, undue influence or other improper means.

(3) Where the Court cancels under this section the registration of an agreement, such agreement shall be deemed never to have been registered.
