Mr. D. Price

I beg to move, in page 58, line 45, at end insert: In section 5, in paragraph (c), for the words from "subject to a liability" to the end of the paragraph there shall be substituted the words "(apart from any liability which has accrued before the termination) subject to a liability to pay an amount which exceeds whichever is the lesser of the two following amounts, that is to say, the amount first mentioned in section 4(1) of this Act and an amount equal to the loss sustained by the owner in consequence of the termination of the agreement or bailment". This Amendment is consequential to the Amendment made in Committee by which Clause 1(5) was added to the Bill.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendment made: In page 59, line 15, at the end insert: In section 15, for the words "comprising those goods" there shall be substituted the words "relating to the whole or any part of those goods (with or without other goods)", and for the words "as from the commencement thereof" there shall be substituted the words "as if in section 11(1) of this Act the words from 'and one-third' to 'any guarantor', and in section 12(1) of this Act the words 'after one-third of the hire-purchase price has been paid or tendered as aforesaid' were omitted".—[Mr. D. Price.]

Mr. D. Price

This Amendment is consequential upon Clause 14, which deals with the jurisdiction of the county courts.
