HONG KONG ANNUAL REPORT
building is divided into a number of flats, in the absence of specific covenant to the contrary, covenants or agreements relating to the use, maintenance, repair, insurance or management of the building as a whole are mutually enforce- able by or against the owners from time to time of the various parts of the building. This measure has become necessary because of the practice, which arose in the Colony after the Pacific War, of purchasing single flats, and the impracticability of calling upon a person claiming through the covenantor to enter into a further Deed of Covenant in order to ensure that such covenants will be binding on him.
Road Traffic. The Vehicle and Road Traffic (Amendment) Ordinance, No. 37, is an Ordinance principally to enable extensive and much needed revision of the subsidiary legislation relating to road traffic and ancillary matters. Three new sets of regulations have been enacted during the year, namely, the Vehicle and Road Traffic (Driving Licences) Regulations, the Vehicle and Road Traffic (Registration and Licensing of Vehicles) Regulations, and the Vehicle and Road Traffic (Construction and Use) Regulations. Work is progressing on four more sets of regulations which it is hoped will be enacted in 1957.
