The court held that the 23 December 1944 assignment, though not registered in a Japanese House Registration Office, qualified under section 10 as a Japanese assignment; the petitioner had made all reasonable inquiries and was unable to ascertain persons who ought to be joined under section 6(2); accordingly a confirmatory assignment was warranted under section 4 and, pursuant to section 6(3), the Registrar of the High Court was ordered to execute the confirmatory assignment in place of the unascertained defendants.
