(2) The Court, upon proof that notice of the application has been served on the caveator or the person on whose behalf the caveat has been lodged, may make such order in the premises, either ex parte or otherwise, as to the Court seems meet. Compare: 1915 No 35 s 152; 1939 No 7 s 12 The words “ High Court ” in subsection (1) were substituted, as from 1 April 1980, for the words “ Supreme Court ” pursuant to section 12 Judicature Amendment Act 1979 (1979 No 124).
