16. Avoidance of certain duplicate bills of sale
When a subsequent bill of sale is executed within or on the expiration of 7 clear days after the execution of a prior unregistered bill of sale and comprises all or any part of the personal chattels comprised in such prior bill of sale, then if such subsequent bill of sale is given as security for the same debt as is secured by the prior bill of sale or for any part of such debt, it is to the extent to which it is a security for the same debt or part thereof, and so far as respects the personal chattels or part thereof comprised in the prior bill, absolutely void, unless it is proved to the satisfaction of the court having cognisance of the case that the subsequent bill of sale was in good faith given for the purpose of correcting some material error in the prior bill of sale and not for the purpose of evading this Act.
