Question juridique clé
Whether the defendants acquired ownership of the Mercedes Benz 300 TE in good faith
Solution extraite
No. The circumstances surrounding the purchase meant the defendants could not rely on good faith as to the seller's power of disposition.
Motifs extraits
The sales receipt lacked the seller's stamp and was signed by a third person; the vehicle document still contained the entry prohibiting transfer; and the second defendant had inspected only a copy of the vehicle registration, all of which created clear suspicion.
