The Court of Appeal held that Wah Yan Mo Fan Heung qualified as a t'ong under the New Territories Ordinance and that bringing proceedings to recover possession for non-payment of rent is management rather than a dealing requiring prior Land Officer consent; defects in registration or authority at commencement can be cured by joinder or ratification and do not mandate striking out; accordingly the appeal was allowed and the matter remitted to trial in the Court of First Instance.
