The court upheld the refusal to *sua sponte* delete a provisionally noted construction lien, even though the lienholder failed to notify the land registry office within the judicial deadline that they had filed a lawsuit for definitive registration, because the land registry office subsequently learned of the timely filed lawsuit through the property owner's request for deletion. The court reasoned that while the lienholder missed the procedural notification deadline set by the prior court order, the substantive right to the lien persisted as long as the underlying claim was judicially pursued, and the lien's entry could not be erased *sua sponte* under regulatory provisions because the registry, having acquired external knowledge of the pending litigation, could not deem the provisional entry to have lost all legal significance.
