Seller Repossession Claim Rejected in Conditional Sale Dispute
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA seller, having transferred ownership of equipment to a buyer under the condition of full payment, sought to compel the buyer to return the equipment after non-payment, relying on a contractual clause allowing repossession upon default. The court upheld the lower court's decision rejecting the seller's claim, reasoning that the transfer of ownership, even conditional, constituted a definitive sale, and therefore, the seller's remedy for non-payment was limited to seeking judicial enforcement of the debt, rather than exercising a right of repossession that effectively nullified the sale after the fact.
