23.(1) If, on an application for first registration of any person as full or
limited owner of a leasehold estate with an absolute title or a good leasehold
title, it appears to the Registrar, on examination of the applicant's title to
that estate, that the title, either of the lessor to the reversion or of the
lessee to the leasehold estate, can be established only for a limited period,
or only subject to certain qualifications, the Registrar may, by an entry made
on the register, except from the effect of registration any estate

(a)arising before a specified date; or

(b)arising under a specified document; or

(c)otherwise particularly described in the register;

(2) The first registration of a person as full or limited owner of a
leasehold estate with a qualified title shall have the same effect as first
registration with an absolute title or, as the case may be, with a good
leasehold title save that first registration with a qualified title shall not
prejudice or affect the enforcement of any estate appearing from the register
to be excepted.
