The Assignment was dated 22 March 1994 and the premium was paid only on 25 April 1994; payment therefore occurred after assignment in breach of s.17B and the Schedule of the Housing Ordinance, rendering the assignment void and the Defendants unable to demonstrate good title; claims of escrow or mistake lacked evidence and were rejected, and correspondence from the Director of Housing did not authorize deviation from the statutory requirement.
