Rule 55 of the English Non-Contentious Probate Rules applies in Hong Kong by virtue of s72(2) PAO; accordingly rectification under s23A WO may be effected by the Registrar within a grant application if one exists, but where no grant application has been filed the proper route is ex-parte MP proceedings before a Master (or Judge as appropriate); a clerical, trivial error which causes no prejudice can be rectified ex-parte and the Registrar need not be joined as respondent.
