Bills of Sale Rules
[12 July 1886]
(Format changes—E.R. 4 of 2019)
A memorandum of satisfaction may be ordered to be written upon a registered copy of a bill of sale on a consent to the satisfaction, signed by the person entitled to the benefit of the bill of sale, and verified by affidavit being produced to the Registrar and filed in the High Court.
[cf. R.S.C. 1962 O. 61 r. 26 U.K.]
Where this consent cannot be obtained, the Registrar may, on application by summons, and on hearing the person entitled to the benefit of the bill of sale or on affidavit of service of the summons on that person, and in either case on proof, to the satisfaction of the Registrar, that the debt, if any, for which the bill of sale was made has been satisfied or discharged, order a memorandum of satisfaction to be written upon a registered copy thereof.
[cf. R.S.C. 1962 O. 61 r. 27 U.K.]
If the attesting witness and deponent is a solicitor, and described as such, the entry of the satisfaction will be directed by the Registrar (the papers being otherwise correct) as of course; but in special circumstances the Registrar may accept any other deponent, if satisfied that he is a proper person to attest and verify the signature and consent.
[cf. Practice Masters’ Rules 1921 r. 25 U.K.]
These rules may be cited as the Bills of Sale Rules.
