    RE LI CHUN PAN

    Citation
    [2022] HKCFI 3232
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMP1197/2022

    Because the registered owner was ordered to hold the property on trust and to transfer it to the applicant on her attaining 18, the applicant had an equitable entitlement; the registered owner died without transferring and without any personal representative having obtained probate or letters of administration, and section 45 of the Trustee Ordinance empowers the court to vest the land in such a person, the court was justified in making a vesting order in favour of the applicant; removal of the trustee from the title was unnecessary for the vesting order.
