Part 3Obligations of licence holders, promoters, and Internet auction providers
Obligations of licensed pawnbrokers: Pawnbroking
59Pledge tickets
At the time when a pledger gives possession of pawned goods to a licensed pawnbroker, the pawnbroker must give the pledger a pledge ticket for the goods.
If a form of pledge ticket is prescribed, the pledge ticket must be in that form; but in any case every pledge ticket must show—
- the name of the pledger; and
- the address at which the pawned goods may be redeemed; and
- the matters set out in section 51(2)(b) to (h); and
- a summary of the rights of pledgers and the obligations of pawnbrokers under the pledge, as provided in this Act.
The pledger must produce the pledge ticket to the licensed pawnbroker if he or she wishes to redeem the pawned goods.
A licensed pawnbroker is entitled, in the absence of proof to the contrary, to assume that the holder of a pledge ticket is in fact the pledger of the goods identified on the ticket.
A licensed pawnbroker must issue a replacement pledge ticket if satisfied that the person seeking the replacement ticket is in fact the pledger, or agent of the pledger, of the pawned goods to which it relates.
