The court found that property in the car had passed to the 1st Defendant prior to the accident despite failure to effect statutory registration, and that the 2nd Defendant was therefore not vicariously liable because the 1st Defendant was not acting as his servant or agent; accordingly the 2nd Defendant was not liable to the Plaintiff, and damages were awarded to the Plaintiff against the liable party for identified heads.
