§ 1. Mr. Willisasked the Lord Advocate what matters concerning goods held on hire-purchase and hire he has decided to remit to the Scottish Law Reform Committee.
§ The Lord AdvocateI have decided to remit to the Law Reform Committee the question of the rights of creditors in relation to goods which are in the possession of, but do not belong to, a debtor. This will cover in particular a landlord's right to seize goods held by his tenant on hire purchase or hire in satisfaction of unpaid rent and the similar right of a rating authority to seize, in satisfaction of arrears of rates, goods held on hire purchase or hire by an occupier of property.
