Section 182: Purchaser of land discharging obligations of equipment lessee
659.This section is also based on part of sections 54 and 56A of CAA 1990. The section provides an equivalent to the previous section if the fixture was let under an equipment lease. It deals with cases in which the person acquiring the interest in the relevant land pays a capital sum to discharge the obligations of the equipment lessee under the equipment lease.
660.The basic rule is dealt with in subsection (1). Subsections (2) and (3) provide that subsection (1) does not apply if another person is treated as the owner of the fixture in respect of a different interest in the relevant land.
661.This section does not deal with cases in which the equipment lessor is treated as the owner of the fixture under section 177. Instead, such situations are dealt with in sections 192 and 195.
