36(3)A stop order, subject to subsection (4), remains in force until such date as is specified therein by the Registrar General.

36(4)Where the Registrar General refuses upon request to withdraw a stop order from registration, upon application by the owner or a person claiming an interest in the land affected by the stop order, the court may require the Registrar General to show cause why the stop order should not be withdrawn from registration and the court may upon such evidence as it requires make such order as it thinks fit.
