On the facts the court inferred a different intention to the presumption in s.20(1): retention of the registration book and an agreement that the parties would attend the Transport Department and payment of the balance before completion demonstrated that property was to pass only on payment and registration; accordingly property remained with the registered owner at the time of the accident, the driver was a permitted driver not servant/agent, and the insurer was liable under the policy extension to satisfy judgments against the driver.
