The court held that the plaintiffs had acquired the beneficial interest in equity and, although the assignment was defectively executed, the vendor company was a trustee of the legal estate immediately prior to its deregistration; accordingly a vesting order under s45(b)(iii) Trustees Ordinance was appropriate to vest the vendor's estate, right, title, benefit and interest in the plaintiffs as joint tenants and to declare them legal and beneficial owners.
