land, charge or lease, on such terms and conditions as it thinks fit—

   (a)  for a particular period;

   (b)  until the occurrence of a particular event; or

   (c)  generally until the making of a further order by the Court.

(2) The person who has obtained an inhibition shall present to the Registrar
an application for the registration of the inhibition, supported by a copy of
the inhibition under seal of the Court, and on such presentation the Registrar
shall register the inhibition.

(3) An inhibition shall not affect registered land, a registered  charge or a
registered long term lease until the inhibition has been registered.
