SALE OF MOTOR VEHICLES ACT 1977 - SECT 32F

    (1)     This section applies if—

        (a)     a motor vehicle is purchased from a dealer by a non-dealer; and

        (b)     at any time before payment of the purchase price, the dealer had notice that the vehicle was subject to a registrable interest; and

        (c)     immediately before payment of the purchase price, the registrable interest had not been discharged or cancelled.

    (2)     The dealer is liable to the creditor who had the registrable interest for any loss of the creditor because of the operation of section 32E (Purchasing motor vehicle with registrable interest) in relation to the registrable interest.

    (3)     However, the dealer is not liable to the creditor if the dealer purchased the motor vehicle free from the registrable interest of the creditor because of section 32E.
