Given extensive but unsuccessful searches for the mortgagee, the subsisting 1936 mortgage and the relatively small, justifiable redemption sum calculated by accepted prior methods, the court exercised its discretion under s12A to grant leave to pay HK$4,600 into court to redeem the mortgage and to declare that upon such payment the lot will be freed and discharged from the mortgage; the District Court had jurisdiction and a single‑hearing approach was appropriate under the facts.
