- CACV326/2003
The purchaser became the owner of the buses upon successful bid and payment; the non-transferability of passenger service licences under the Road Traffic Ordinance did not negate transfer of ownership and did not impose upon the vendor an obligation to procure licences or advise on statutory licensing restrictions; therefore the appeal was dismissed and the trial judge's dismissal of the plaintiff's claim and the defendant's successful counterclaim were upheld.
