(c) Future Plan

(i) Departmental IT Development and Initiatives

We have been actively disseminating public information through the Land Registry’s website and IRIS Online Services. We will continue to explore how to further enhance our e-services to meet customers’ needs, such as:

• to issue an early reminder to the lodging party on the 21st day after a stopped deed was returned to the lodging party in order to provide more time for the lodging party to handle the case before the expiry of the first 28-day period; and
• to allow free browsing of the Street Index and New Territories Lot/Address Cross Reference Table on the Land Registry’s website.

(ii) IT Support for Title Registration

Design of the IT system for title registration will be taken forward to tie in with the amendment exercise of the LTO.
