Land Titles Ordinance

The Land Registry had received comments on the proposal of "Two-Stage Conversion Mechanism" from all members of the Land Titles Ordinance Steering Committee (LTOSC) and had sent to members a summary of the major comments received for their information. Taking into account the comments, the Land Registry has revised the proposal and provided it to members for consideration and discussion at the meeting of the LTOSC held in June 2013.

Subject to progress of the consultation with the major stakeholders, we plan to launch a public consultation exercise on the proposed amendments to the Land Titles Ordinance.
