Seabreeze Outboard and Outdoor Shop Limited was offering for sale used reconditioned snowmobiles. Tim was interested in one of the snowmobiles and purchased it. Sometime after his purchase he found that Empire Financial, which held a conditional sale agreement over the snowmobile with Seabreeze, had petitioned the bankruptcy of Seabreeze. On seizing the company's files and learning the whereabouts of the goods sold that were covered by the conditional sale agreement, Empire had tracked down Tim and had ultimately removed the snowmobile from Tim's yard. Tim was outraged, but admitted that he had not searched the province's personal property security registry to determine whether or not the snowmobile was subject to a conditional sale agreement before he purchased it. Discuss the likely outcome of this situation.

Students may raise a number of issues here. One of the large issues is that of access to the goods which form the collateral under a secured transaction of some kind. Traditionally, Canadian business has been much more focused on domestic markets for sourcing inventory and business assets. Now however as North American free trade has opened markets and lowered tariffs and as competition from Asian countries increases, many of the goods which form the security for business debt are not necessarily resident in the jurisdiction where the security has been perfected. It should be of concern to a creditor that the collateral is available for seizure and sale should the debtor default. Where the assets are in another legal jurisdiction, he or she may face considerable difficulty accessing them under the terms of a security agreement.

A security interest is perfected on creation of the security instrument, and attaches upon either registration or possession by the creditor.
