Introduction

The objective of this course is to minimise the risk to engage in litigation due to non compliance of execution formalities of company documents.

Case law highlights the risks of protracted litigation if documents are not properly executed.

Mummery L.J. in the case of Williams v Redcard Ltd. [2011] 4 All ER 444 rightly pointed out:
“Expensive and long drawn-out litigation about the execution of a document by a company can be avoided by taking more care over compliance with the formalities at the time of execution…”

Legal practitioners should therefore know the law relating to the execution of company documents and deeds in detail when they deal with the execution of company documents of clients, in commercial transactions or conveyancing cases, so as to minimise such risk.

In this seminar, the speaker provides an insight into the legal and practical aspects of execution, and illustrates with many well selected court cases in which execution of company documents were challenged that the documents were invalid or as a result thereof, the titles of properties are defective.

This course also includes the proof of due execution of company documents for use in Hong Kong and overseas so that transactional documents or otherwise will be accepted and there will be more certainty of transactions in order to avoid litigation in future.

The speaker will share real life examples from his experience.
