    Citation
    REMINWAH TEXTILE LTD
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMP217/1973

    Because Minwah Textile Limited was not a party to the original bill of sale, the Registrar's reliance on non‑registration under the Bill of Sale Ordinance did not defeat the claimants' proprietary title; the Court therefore granted extension of time and leave to appeal, allowed the appeal, set aside the Registrar's decision and rescinded the order for sale; claimants entitled to succeed subject to limited costs for watchmen's fees.
