WU CHUK ON AND ANOTHER v. LONG CHAIN DEVELOPMENT CO LTD
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMP482/2007

The court held that the conveyancing evidence adduced—specifically the two statutory declarations containing deponents with personal knowledge of the owner's identity, occupation of the land and succession—was sufficient to identify the registered owner and cure the clerical name-discrepancy; accordingly the plaintiffs established good title and the purchaser was not shown to face a real risk of a successful adverse claim.

WONG WAI YI AND OTHERS v. YAU SUI CHUN JORESA

Citation

WONG WAI YI AND OTHERS v. YAU SUI CHUN JORESA
Court

District Court
Case number

DCCJ16194/2001

The court found the signatures were not materially different and, alternatively, that the identical Hong Kong identity card number provided sufficient circumstantial proof of identity; therefore the plaintiffs' requisition was unreasonable or satisfactorily answered, the vendor had good title, plaintiffs' claim was dismissed and the defendant was entitled to forfeit the deposit and recover its counter-claim.
