HAD and the Land Registry are involved in the process of forming owners' corporations in private buildings. HAD promotes effective building management in private buildings and advises owners on procedural and technical matters relating to the formation of owners' corporations. HAD's staff are present at the owners' meetings to render assistance in the formation of owners' corporations. After formation, liaison is maintained through routine visits and participation in owners' meetings. When owners encounter building management problems, HAD's staff offer advice and mediate in disputes. The Land Registry deals with the registration of an owners' corporation upon application by a management committee appointed under the Building Management Ordinance. The Land Registry also maintains a register of owners' corporations and enters particulars of winding-up petitions or winding- up orders in the register.
