    LAU KAM SHING AND OTHERS v. CHEUNG CHUEN HON
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMP504/2011

    The court held that under s.13 of the Conveyancing and Property Ordinance the Plaintiffs were required only to produce title documents extending back 15 years from the date of the agreement; the Deed of Gift dated 15 October 1992 satisfied that requirement, the alleged defects were at most hypothetical given long lapse of time and absence of competing claim, and therefore the Plaintiffs established good title and sufficiently answered requisitions 1 and 2.
