UNCOLLECTED GOODS ACT 1995 - SECT 2 Commencement 2 Commencement This Act commences on a day to be appointed by proclamation. UNCOLLECTED GOODS ACT 1995 - SECT 3 Definitions 3 Definitions In this Act: "bailed goods" means goods subject to bailment, and includes goods held by the Sheriff following their seizure under a writ of execution. "bailee" and "bailor" include their respective successors. "bailment" includes bailment for reward, bailment in the course of business, gratuitous bailment, involuntary bailment or any sub-bailment, but does not include anything excluded from this definition by the regulations. "dispose of" includes sell or destroy. "goods" means all chattels personal, other than things excluded from this definition by the regulations. "publicly registered interest" in goods means an interest in the goods that is recorded in the Register of Interests in Goods under the Registration of Interests in Goods Act 1986 or in any other register prescribed by the regulations. "relevant charges" is defined in section 10 (for the purposes of Part 2) and in section 28 (for the purposes of Part 3). "uncollected goods" means bailed goods that are uncollected as referred to in section 5. UNCOLLECTED GOODS ACT 1995 - SECT 4 Object of Act 4 Object of Act (1) The object of this Act is to provide persons in possession of uncollected goods subject to bailment (bailees) with means of disposing of those goods without incurring any liability to the bailor or any other person. (2) The means of disposal are by way of court order or after due notice to the bailor and others. UNCOLLECTED GOODS ACT 1995 - SECT 5 When goods uncollected for purposes of Act 5 When goods uncollected for purposes of Act Bailed goods are uncollected for the purposes of this Act if: (a) the goods are ready for delivery to the bailor in accordance with the terms of the bailment, but the bailor has failed to take delivery of the goods or, if those terms so provide, to give directions as to their delivery, or (b) the bailee is required to give notice to the bailor before the goods are so ready for delivery, but is unable to trace or communicate with the bailor, or (c) the bailee can reasonably expect to be relieved of any duty to safeguard the goods on giving notice to the bailor, but is unable to trace or communicate with the bailor. UNCOLLECTED GOODS ACT 1995 - SECT 6 When Act available for disposal of uncollected goods 6 When Act available for disposal of uncollected goods (1) This Act is available for the disposal of uncollected goods where there is no agreement between the parties on the means of their disposal. If there is such an agreement, this Act applies to any aspect of the disposal of those goods that is not dealt with in the agreement. (2) This Act is also available as an alternative to other statutory means of disposal of particular uncollected goods. However, it is not available as an alternative to the Unclaimed Money Act 1995, the Pawnbrokers and Second-hand Dealers Act 1996 or to any other Act or instrument prescribed by the regulations. (3) This section is subject to section 32. UNCOLLECTED GOODS ACT 1995 - SECT 7 No liability for due disposal of uncollected goods 7 No liability for due disposal of uncollected goods A person who disposes of uncollected goods in accordance with this Act is not liable to any other person in respect of the goods merely because the person by whom the goods have been disposed of has been a bailee of the goods. UNCOLLECTED GOODS ACT 1995 - SECT 8 Applications to Local Court for orders for disposal of uncollected goods 8 Applications to Local Court for orders for disposal of uncollected goods (1) A bailee may, in accordance with the regulations, apply to the Local Court for an order authorising the bailee to dispose of uncollected goods. (2) A copy of the application must be served on the bailor, on the owner of the goods and on each other person having or claiming an interest in the goods. (3) However, this section does not require a copy of the application to be served on a person (other than any person who has a publicly registered interest in the goods) if the bailee: (a) is unaware of the fact that the person has or claims an interest in the goods, or (b) cannot trace or communicate with the person. (4) An application for the disposal of a motor vehicle must be accompanied by: (a) a certificate referred to in section 31 from the Commissioner of Police that the vehicle is not stolen, and (b) a certificate under section 8 of the Registration of Interests in Goods Act 1986 in relation to the vehicle. UNCOLLECTED GOODS ACT 1995 - SECT 9 Orders of Local Court 9 Orders of Local Court (1) The Local Court may, on application made under this Part: (a) if satisfied that the goods concerned are uncollected goods, make an order authorising the applicant to dispose of all or some only of those goods, or (b) refuse to make such an order. (2) The Local Court may refuse to make such an order on any ground it considers appropriate, including the ground that there are more appropriate means for the disposal of those goods. (3) An order under this Part is to specify the following matters: (a) the goods to which it relates, (b) the manner in which disposal of the goods is authorised, (c) the date on or after which the goods may be disposed of under the order, (d) the amount of the relevant charges due to the bailee in respect of the goods. UNCOLLECTED GOODS ACT 1995 - SECT 10 Relevant charges due to bailee 10 Relevant charges due to bailee For the purposes of this Part, the amount of the relevant charges due to a bailee in respect of uncollected goods is the sum of the following amounts: (a) the amount agreed on between the bailor and the bailee (or, in the absence of such an agreement, such amount as is reasonable) as the charges due to the bailee for any carriage or storage of the goods or for any repairs or other work done in connection with the goods, (b) the amount of the costs incurred by the bailee (in respect of the period beginning with the date when the application for the order is made and ending with the date when the goods are disposed of) for any storage, maintenance or insurance of the goods, (c) the amount of the costs incurred by the bailee for the disposal of the goods in accordance with this Part. UNCOLLECTED GOODS ACT 1995 - SECT 11 Order may be made despite dispute about relevant charges or work done 11 Order may be made despite dispute about relevant charges or work done (1) The Local Court may make an order under this Part even though there is a dispute between the bailor and the bailee as to: (a) the amount of any charge made by the bailee for carriage or storage of the goods or for repairs or other work done in connection with the goods, or (b) the condition of the goods or the nature or quality of any repairs or other work done in connection with the goods.

UNCOLLECTED GOODS ACT 1995 - SECT 13 Effect of other proceedings on orders of Local Court 13 Effect of other proceedings on orders of Local Court (1) If, at any time before they are disposed of under this Part, a person commences an action for the recovery of the goods, the order under this Part is suspended until the action is finally disposed of. (2) If, as a result of such an action, an order is made for the recovery of the goods, the order under this Part ceases to have effect. UNCOLLECTED GOODS ACT 1995 - SECT 14 Proceeds of sale 14 Proceeds of sale (1) From the proceeds of sale of goods under this Part, the bailee is entitled to retain the relevant charges due to the bailee in respect of the goods. (2) The balance (if any) of the proceeds of sale are to be dealt with as if the bailee were a business and the money were unclaimed money for the purposes of the Unclaimed Money Act 1995. (3) If the proceeds of sale are insufficient to pay the relevant charges due to the bailee in respect of the goods, the bailee may recover the amount of the deficiency from the bailor, as a debt, in any court of competent jurisdiction.

UNCOLLECTED GOODS ACT 1995 - SECT 17 Exercise of jurisdiction by Local Court 17 Exercise of jurisdiction by Local Court (2) The Local Court may not exercise the jurisdiction conferred by this Part if the value of the uncollected goods exceeds the amount of the limit of the Court’s jurisdiction in an action for the recovery of a debt under the Civil Procedure Act 2005. (3) The provisions of the Civil Procedure Act 2005 relating to appeals to the Supreme Court apply to the exercise of the Local Court’s jurisdiction under this Act. UNCOLLECTED GOODS ACT 1995 - SECT 18 Exercise of jurisdiction by District Court or Supreme Court 18 Exercise of jurisdiction by District Court or Supreme Court (1) The jurisdiction conferred on the Local Court by this Part may be exercised by the District Court, but only with the leave of the District Court, or by the Supreme Court, but only with the leave of the Supreme Court.

(2) The Supreme Court may exercise that jurisdiction even though the value of the uncollected goods exceeds the jurisdictional limit of the Local Court. (3) When deciding whether to grant leave, the District Court or Supreme Court may have regard to the value of the uncollected goods, the complexity of the legal issues involved, any related issues for which the Local Court does not have jurisdiction and any other relevant matter. (4) For the purpose of this section: (a) a reference in this Act (except section 17) to the Local Court is to be read as including a reference to the District Court or Supreme Court, as the case requires, and (b) a reference in section 8 to the regulations is to be read as including a reference to the rules of court.
