A unilateral, unsigned notice of deposit of title deeds that does not create or evidence a legal or equitable interest is not an 'instrument in writing' registrable under the Land Registration Ordinance; deposit of title deeds alone does not create an equitable mortgage or charge, and registration of such a notice is a misuse that must be removed.
