Because the registered orders had been registered more than five years before the sale agreement and were not re-registered, section 17 of the Land Registration Ordinance meant they ceased to have effect as against the subsequent sale; accordingly they did not render the plaintiffs' title defective and the plaintiffs' reliance on s 17 constituted an adequate answer to the requisition on title, so good title was shown.
