The 2nd Defendant could not establish any proprietary claim to the suit premises; the lis pendens did not extinguish the plaintiff's contractual right to specific performance; the 1st Defendant had sufficient authority as administrator to contract; statutory non‑registration did not render the sale void as against the plaintiff, therefore the plaintiff's summons for specific performance succeeds and the 2nd Defendant's counterclaim fails.
