Market Overt in Europe
Definition of Market Overt
Open market. Market overt in ordinary market towns is only held on the special days provided for by charter or prescription ; but in the City of London every week day is market day. The goods must be such things only as the seller professes to trade in.
The doctrine of market overt is that all sales of goods made therein, except horses, are not only binding on the parties, but also on all other persons : so that if stolen goods are sold in market overt, the purchaser, if acting in good faith, acquires a valid title to them against the true owner (Sale of Goods Act, 1893, s. 22, sub-s. 1) unless the latter has prosecuted the thief to conviction, in which case the goods re-vest in the true owner (ibid. f s. 24, sub-s. 1), and the buyer is left to obtain compensation out of any money which may have been taken from the thief on his apprehension
