The 2012 assent was void from inception because it contravened s.17B(1) of the Housing Ordinance by effecting a transfer of HOS property without prior Housing Authority consent and payment of premium; a void instrument incapable of affecting land is not registrable under the Land Registration Ordinance, and the court has inherent jurisdiction to declare non-registrability and to vacate the registration; accordingly the registration of the assent is vacated and a declaration of non-registrability is made.
