Part I · Application of the Law

5. Validity of a secured interest

Official English translation. Where it differs from the Sinhala or Tamil text, the Act itself says which text prevails.

Any mortgagor, pledgor, conditional transferor, lessor or assignor may accept a collateral for securing such mortgage, pledge, conditional transfer, financial lease or assignment:

Provided however no such person shall accept any secured interest other than a secured interest in the purchase money of consumer goods belonging to the debtor:

Provided further such security interest may not be deemed to be invalid due to the rights enjoyed by the debtor to use, sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of such security.
