C-25.01 - Code of Civil Procedure
Section 695
Disposition versions
695. A passenger motor vehicle cannot be seized if the vehicle is necessary in order to maintain work income or an active job search. Nor can it be seized if it is necessary in order to meet the basic needs of the debtor and the debtor’s dependants or ensure that they receive the care required by their state of health or can pursue their education. Nevertheless, such a motor vehicle may be seized if the bailiff considers that the debtor can meet essential travel needs by using public transit, another vehicle that is available to the debtor or a replacement vehicle of lesser value.
A motor vehicle’s exemption from seizure is ineffective against the seller as regards the amounts owed on the sale price and against a hypothecary creditor; it is also ineffective against a seizure in execution of a judgment that is subject to the rules of execution set out in the Code of Penal Procedure (chapter C-25.1).
