The defendant remained personally liable to refund the HK$90,000 deposit despite assignment because the covenant was personal and did not run with the land; the plaintiff's silence did not amount to consent or novation and therefore did not estop the plaintiff; the action was brought within the statutory limitation period so laches did not bar the claim; judgment entered for the plaintiff for deposit, interest and costs.
