§ Right of Hirer to terminate Agreement.
§ 2. He must then arrange for the return of the goods, and must also pay any instalments which are in arrear at the time when he gives notice. If, when he has paid those instalments, the total amount which he has paid under the agreement is less than one-half of the hire-purchase price he must also pay enough to make up that sum.
565§ Restriction of Owner's right to recover Goods.
§ 1. After one-third of the hire-purchase price has been paid the owner of the goods cannot take them back from the hirer without the hirer's consent unless the owner obtains an order of the Court.
§ 2. If the owner applies to the Court for such an order the Court may if the Court thinks it just to do so allow the hirer to keep either—
- (a) the whole of the goods, on condition that the hirer pays the balance of the price in the manner ordered by the Court; or
- (b) a fair proportion of the goods having regard to what the hirer has already paid.

The noble Lord said: Having regard to the provision which has been made in regard to installation charges, it is necessary to put in this Amendment. I beg to move.
