Retention Of Title Claims

Retention Of Title Claims

A retention of title (ROT) claim is a clause in a sale contract which means that the seller still has ownership of the product until certain obligations are met by the buyer – i.e. payment.

It is often the case that on the insolvency of a debtor there is no money left to pay unsecured creditors. Unsecured creditors are lenders who did not get a form of security over something when lending money to the borrower. These creditors will rank below those who did obtain security for the loan they provided.

A retention of title clause is a form of protection for creditors. It means you can get your goods back if you aren’t paid. The clause will be part of a sales contract which will say that the supplier of goods remains the owner of these goods until full payment is made.

There are many different types of retention of title clauses and many cases will depend upon their individual facts.
