(1)The property, rights, interests and liabilities to which the transferor is entitled or subject are transferred to the transferee.

2Transfer of staff

The Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 1981 (S.I. 1981/1794) apply to the transfer of property, rights, interests and liabilities by section 1, whether or not they would so apply apart from this section.

(2)Any property, right, interest or liability in respect of which but for this Act—

(a)delivery or possession; or

(b)intimation of its assignation,

would be required in order to complete title to it, shall transfer to and vest in the transferee by virtue of this Act as if at the date on which the transfer of the property, right, interest or liability by this Act takes effect the transferee had taken delivery or possession of the property, right, interest or liability in question or, as the case may be, had made intimation of its assignation.

(3)To enable the transferee to complete a title, if thought fit, to any property vested in it by virtue of this Act by notice of title or otherwise, or to deduce title, this Act shall be deemed to be, and may be used as, a general disposition, conveyance or, as the case may be, assignation of such property in favour of the transferee.
