Regulation 31 Claim by the keeper of a motor vehicle after its disposalI1
England and Wales
If, after a motor vehicle has been disposed of by a custodian pursuant to regulation 28, a person claims to have been the keeper of the motor vehicle at the time when it was disposed of and the conditions specified in paragraph (2) are fulfilled, there is payable to that person by the custodian a sum calculated in accordance with paragraph (3).
The conditions are that—
the person claiming satisfies the custodian that such person was the keeper of the motor vehicle at the time it was disposed of; and
the claim is made within the period of one year beginning with the date on which the motor vehicle was disposed of.
The sum payable under paragraph (1) is calculated by deducting from the proceeds of sale of the motor vehicle any of the sums payable under regulation 28(4)(a)(iv) that remain unpaid with respect to the motor vehicle.
