Question

Семенов, прочитав в газете объявление о продаже мотоцикла, 1 августа купил его у Грашина за 1500 руб. Деньги за него были переданы Грашину, а тот выдал Семенову расписку о получении указанной суммы в качестве оплаты за мотоцикл. Поскольку Семенов спешил на вокзал (уезжал в служебную командировку), они договорились, что покупатель заберет мотоцикл через неделю, по возвращении его из командировки. 8 августа Семенов явился к Грашину, но последний отказался открыть гараж и передать мотоцикл и предложил Семенову взять обратно свои 1500 руб., заявив, что он продал мотоцикл Чеботареву, предложившему за него 2000 руб. При этом Грашин пояснил, что он как собственник вправе продать свой мотоцикл любому лицу. В какой момент происходит переход права собственности на товар? Кто после 1 августа был собственником мотоцикла? Вправе ли Семенов требовать отобрания мотоцикла у Грашина?

Answer 1

Право собственности у приобретателя вещи по договору возникает с момента ее передачи⇒ 1 августа собственником мотоцикла являлся Грашин. Нет,так как он не являлся собственником и Грашин возвратил деньги назад.

Answer 2

Ownership of the Motorcycle and Transfer of Property Rights

According to the given information, Semenov purchased the motorcycle from Grashin on August 1st for 1500 rubles. The money was transferred to Grashin, who issued a receipt to Semenov confirming the receipt of the specified amount as payment for the motorcycle. They agreed that Semenov would collect the motorcycle after a week, upon his return from a business trip. However, when Semenov visited Grashin on August 8th, Grashin refused to open the garage and hand over the motorcycle. Instead, he offered to return Semenov's 1500 rubles, claiming that he had sold the motorcycle to Chebotarev for 2000 rubles. Grashin argued that as the owner, he had the right to sell his motorcycle to anyone he chose.

The moment at which the transfer of ownership rights occurs depends on the jurisdiction and the terms of the agreement between the buyer and the seller. In general, ownership of a product is transferred when the buyer pays for the item and the seller delivers it to the buyer. In this case, Semenov paid Grashin 1500 rubles and received a receipt as proof of payment. However, the physical transfer of the motorcycle did not occur at that time. They agreed that Semenov would collect the motorcycle after a week. Therefore, it can be argued that the transfer of ownership rights would occur when Semenov physically receives the motorcycle from Grashin.

Ownership of the Motorcycle After August 1st

Based on the information provided, Semenov is considered the owner of the motorcycle after August 1st. He paid the agreed-upon amount of 1500 rubles to Grashin and received a receipt as proof of payment. Although the physical transfer of the motorcycle did not occur on that day, the ownership rights were established through the payment and the agreement between Semenov and Grashin.

Semenov's Right to Demand the Motorcycle from Grashin

Semenov has the right to demand the motorcycle from Grashin. According to the information provided, Semenov purchased the motorcycle from Grashin and paid the agreed-upon amount. Grashin's subsequent sale of the motorcycle to Chebotarev does not invalidate Semenov's ownership rights. Grashin's claim that he had the right to sell the motorcycle to anyone he chose does not hold up if he had already entered into a binding agreement to sell the motorcycle to Semenov. Semenov can assert his ownership rights and demand the motorcycle from Grashin.

Please note that the legal implications of this situation may vary depending on the jurisdiction and specific laws governing the transfer of ownership rights. It is advisable for Semenov to consult with a legal professional to understand his rights and options in this situation.
