Bill of sale to be void unless attested and registered.
7. Every bill of sale shall be duly attested and shall be registered under this
Act within seven clear days after the execution thereof, or, if it is executed
in any place out of Gibraltar, then within seven clear days after the time at
which it would in the ordinary course of post arrive in Gibraltar if posted
immediately after the execution thereof; and shall truly set forth the
consideration for which it was given; otherwise the following consequences
shall ensue–

the payment of money by the grantor thereof, such bill of sale
shall be void in respect of the personal chattels comprised
therein;
(b) in the case of any other bill of sale, it shall, as against all
trustees or assignees of the estate of the person whose chattels,
or any of them, are comprised in such bill of sale under the law
relating to bankruptcy or liquidation, or under any assignment
for the benefit of the creditors of such person, and also as
against all sheriffs, officers and other persons seizing any
chattels comprised in such bill of sale, in the execution of any
process of any court authorizing the seizure of the chattels of
the person by whom or of whose chattels such bill has been
made, and also as against every person on whose behalf such
process shall have been issued, shall be deemed fraudulent and

of sale, then, if such subsequent bill of sale is given as a security for the
same debt as is secured by the prior bill of sale, or for any part of such debt,
it shall, 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, be absolutely void, unless it is proved to the satisfaction of
the court having cognizance of the case that the subsequent bill of sale was
