The Formal Sale and Purchase Agreement, registered on 4 April 1997 and relating back to 13 March 1997, created a registrable equitable lien for the Purchaser which took priority over the 2nd Defendant's express declaration of trust because the trust document was not registered until 4 September 1998; by reducing the unwritten equity to a written, registrable trust the 2nd Defendant subjected herself to the Land Registration Ordinance and could not defeat the earlier registered lien.
