Section 19 covers instruments 'pending registration' and the court will exercise its wide discretion to vacate registration where doing so is just in the circumstances; here the court allowed vacatur of five instruments affecting the whole property on payment into court of HK$12,000,000 (HK$6,000,000 for the 1st Defendant and HK$6,000,000 for the Plaintiff) because the dispute concerned only Unit C, parties sought damages not specific performance, the 2nd Defendant offered security, and the sums ordered were assessed as sufficient to protect the parties' interests.
