The priority of certain rights over other ones is governed by the ranking as registered in the land register. The right that has been registered earlier in the land register has priority in ranking over the right registered at a later date. However, some rights are not registered in the land registers (e.g. statutory pre-emption rights). The main rule is that in the event of conflict between a statutory and contractual pre-emption right/redemption right, the statutory right shall prevail.
