not yet in operation

(1) Nothing in this section enables a minor who is the owner of
registered land or a registered charge, or the lessee of a registered long 
term lease, to deal with the land, charge or lease or with an interest in the
land, charge or lease.

(2) Where a disposition by a minor of registered land, a registered  charge or
a registered long term lease has been registered and—

   (a)  the person to whom the disposition is made acted in good faith and for
        valuable consideration; and

   (b)  the fact that the minor was a minor was not disclosed to that person
        at any time before the registration of the disposition, that
        disposition shall not be set aside only on the ground that the
        disposition was made by a minor.

(3) For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby declared that where the owner of
registered land or a registered charge, or the lessee of a
registered long term lease, is a minor and that fact is disclosed to the
Registrar in any application for registration made by him, then the name of
that minor shall be entered in the Title Register with the addition
after the minor's English name of the words "a minor" and with the addition
after his Chinese name of the words "未成年人".
