The Lord Flashheart 73 Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 (edited) Do you think he will be allowed to keep it .? I don't know but the police have given him receipt for it The general principle under English law is that one cannot obtain better title (right of ownership) when buying something than the seller themselves had. On that basis if the tank was legally sold by the Iraqi government ( which it almost certainly was) and he bought it "as is" ( very likely for a tank that needs restoring) then he will in all likelihood get to keep it unless someone pops up saying the gold was stolen from them ( perhaps the Kuwaitis in this context) .
