1. This is my decision. The plaintiff’s claim for declaration of her entitlement to a charge or an equitable mortgage of the 1 st defendant’s property in Hong Kong is essentially based on an oral agreement coupled with an alleged deposit of the original title deeds as security. This oral agreement is denied by the 1st defendant who also denies that the title deeds were deposited by him with the plaintiff, as security.
