The court held that the plaintiff's earlier registration of its assignment under the Land Registration Ordinance Cap.128 s3(1) conferred priority and a clear transferable title extinguishing the defendants' unregistered option agreements as against the plaintiff; no fraud was proved and no actual, constructive or imputed notice could be attributed to the plaintiff, so the statutory protection applied.
