On the other hand, in "Kozak v. Ford Motor Credit Co." the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal decided that the Sale of Goods and Factors Act of the province did not apply to a conditional sale agreement. Hence, the conditional vendor did not lose title by the acts of the conditional vendee; despite the absence of registration as required under the Conditional Sales Act for the protection of the various parties. (Fridman, "Sale of Goods" 2nd ed., 1979, p. 286).

A voluntary purchaser or volunteer is one who does not give valuable consideration in return for the acquisition of the interest in land concerned. Volunteers comprise donees and beneficiaries (whether devisees or persons entitled to residue or on intestacy) of estates of deceased persons, as well as beneficiaries under settlements made "inter vivos", and also persons in whom property is vested in a representative capacity without consideration being given, for example, where a new trustee is appointed or property vests in a personal capacity.

Before the enactment of the Statute of Uses, 1535, the Court of Chancery held that as soon as a bargain and sale of land had been completed, the bargainor or vendor was seised of (or held) the land to the use (that is to say, for the benefit) of the bargainee or purchaser, so that the bargainor became a trustee for the bargainee. The Statute of Uses, 1535, executed the use in favour of the bargainee, that is to say, gave him the same estate or interest in the land as the bargainor had before the bargain and sale.
