13. Powers of court in certain actions by owners to recover possession of the goods.

Repealed from 13 May 1996

(1) Where, in any case to which the last foregoing section applies, an owner commences an action to enforce a right to recover possession of the goods from a hirer after one-third of the hire-purchase price has been paid or tendered as aforesaid, the owner shall not take any step after the action has been commenced to enforce payment of any sum due under the hire-purchase agreement, or under any contract of guarantee relating thereto, except by claiming the sum in the action.

(2) Subject to such exceptions as may be made by rules of court, all the parties to the agreement and any guarantor shall be made parties to the action.

(3) Pending the hearing of the action the Court shall, in addition to any other powers, have power, upon the application of the owner, to make such orders as the Court thinks just for the purpose of protecting the goods from damage or depreciation, including orders restricting or prohibiting the user of the goods or giving directions as to their custody.
