DOG AND CAT MANAGEMENT ACT 1995 - SECT 64F
64F—Ownership of certain dogs and cats to vest in operator of facility
If a dog or cat is destroyed or otherwise disposed of under this Part then,
for the purposes of the laws of this State—
(a)
ownership of the dog or cat will be taken to have vested in the operator of
the facility at which the dog or cat had been detained immediately before the
dog or cat was destroyed or otherwise disposed of; and
(b) no
compensation will be payable to a previous owner of the dog or cat in respect
of its destruction or disposal,
(however, nothing in this section limits the operator of the facility from
recovering charges or costs of taking action under this Act in accordance with
section 64E or any other provision of this Act).
Note—
Ownership of an animal does not vest in the operator of the facility or any
other person merely because a period of time has elapsed after which the
animal may be disposed of.
