[F44 (5A) An amount equal to any compensation paid under this section by the Chief Land Registrar in respect of a local land charge is also recoverable from the originating authority in a case where the matter within subsection (1) giving rise to the Chief Land Registrar's liability is a consequence of—

11 Mortgages, trusts for sale and settled land.

(1) Where there appear to be grounds for a claim under section 10 above in respect of an interest that is subject to a mortgage—

(a) the claim may be made by any mortgagee of the interest as if he were the person entitled to that interest but without prejudice to the making of a claim by that person;
