Report on an ordinance intituled
263
An Ordinance to amend the Land Registration Ordinance, 1844,
The main object of this Ordinance, which was intro-
duced at the instance of the President of the Hongkong Law Society, is to enable a defendant to register a judgment without having to obtain the plaintiff's signature to the memorial. Inconvenience is sometimes oaused through the
unwillingness of an unsuccessful plaintiff to assist a successful defendant in this respect,
Sections 3 and 4 correct a more or less formal defect
in the principal Ordinance by providing for the case of a
judgment by which no "sum" is"recovered".
,
In my opinion this is an Ordinance to which His Excellency the Governor may properly assent and in the name of His Majesty and on His behalf,
Attorney General.
