owner has, pursuant to the provisions of a hire-purchase agreement,
taken possession of the goods comprised therein (and whether or not
the goods have been re-delivered to the hirer pursuant to this Act);

guarantor where the owner and the hirer have entered into a new
agreement in respect of the goods comprised in any hire-purchase
agreement.
(3) No guarantor shall be liable to any further or other extent than
the hirer, the performance of whose obligations he has guaranteed;
but, nothing in this Act affects any agreement by the guarantor
binding him to the performance of any obligation that is not one of
the obligations imposed on the hirer under the hire-purchase
agreement in respect of which the guarantee is given.
(4) Where goods have been delivered to the hirer pursuant to a
hire-purchase agreement and the owner subsequently takes
possession thereof, any guarantor who has paid any moneys to the
owner in accordance with his guarantee has the like right in like
manner to recover those moneys as he would have had if he had been
the hirer of the goods, but for the purpose of calculating the amount
Hire-Purchase
43
received by the owner all moneys paid and the value of any other
consideration provided by or on behalf of the hirer shall be deemed to
have been paid or provided by the guarantor:
Provided that no moneys shall be recovered by the guarantor in
excess of the moneys actually paid by him.
(b)
sue the hirer in the name of the owner for any breach of
the hirers obligations under the hire-purchase
