Reputed Ownership in Europe
Definition of Reputed Ownership
The doctrine that if the circumstances in which property is in a trader’s possession, order or disposition, are such as to lead to a fair and reasonable inference amongst persons likely to have dealings with him, that he is the owner, and if the real owner is a consenting party, that property is said to be in his reputed ownership, and on the trader becoming bankrupt, that property is divisible among his creditors. The doctrine does not apply to property comprised in a registered bill of sale, nor does it apply in cases where (as e.g., furniture held by a hotel keeper on the hire-purchase system) there is a custom or usage of trade rebutting the presumption of ownership (Bankruptcy Act, 1914, s. 38)
