HIRE-PURCHASE ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1966 - SECT 64

1979 c.54

64.(1) In this Part

"seller" has the meaning assigned to it by section 65(1) in relation to a
conditional sale agreement;

"disposition" means any sale or contract of sale (including a
conditional sale agreement), any letting under a hire-purchase agreement and
any transfer of the property in goods in pursuance of a provision in that
behalf contained in a hire-purchase agreement, and includes any transaction
purporting to be a disposition;

"motor vehicle" means a mechanically propelled vehicle intended or adapted for
use on roads to which the public has access.

(2) In this Part "trade or finance purchaser" means a purchaser who, at the
time of the disposition made to him, carries on a business which consists,
wholly or partly,

(a)of purchasing motor vehicles for the purpose of offering or exposing them
for sale, or

(b)of providing finance by purchasing motor vehicles for the purpose of
letting them under hire-purchase agreements or agreeing to sell them under
conditional sale agreements,

(3) For the purposes of this Part a person becomes a purchaser of a motor
vehicle if, and at the time when, a disposition of the vehicle is made to him;
and a person shall be taken to be a purchaser of a motor vehicle without
notice of a hire-purchase agreement or conditional sale agreement if, at the
time of the disposition made to him, he has no actual notice that the vehicle
is or was the subject of any hire-purchase agreement or
conditional sale agreement.

(4) In this Part "the hirer or buyer",

(a)in relation to a motor vehicle which has been let under a
hire-purchase agreement, means the person who at the material time (whether
the agreement has before that time been terminated or not) is the hirer in
relation to that agreement for the purposes of this Act, including a person
who at that time is, by virtue of section 38(1), deemed to be a bailee of the
vehicle as therein mentioned;

(b)in relation to a motor vehicle which has been agreed to be sold under a
conditional sale agreement, means the person who at the material time (whether
the agreement has before that time been terminated or not) is in relation to
that agreement the buyer, including a person who at that time is, by virtue of
section 38(1) (as modified by section 45(3)), deemed to be in possession of
the vehicle as therein mentioned.

(5) In this Part any reference to the title of the owner or seller to a motor
vehicle which has been let under a hire-purchase agreement, or agreed to be
sold under a conditional sale agreement, and is disposed of by the hirer or
buyer, is a reference to such title (if any) to the vehicle as, immediately
before that disposition, was vested in the person who then was the owner in
relation to the hire-purchase agreement, or the seller in relation to the
conditional sale agreement, as the case may be.

(6) This Part shall bind the Crown to the full extent authorised or permitted
by the constitutional laws of Northern Ireland.

(7) This Part shall not have effect where the disposition by the hirer or
buyer which is referred to in section 62(1) was made before 1st July 1966.
