The bit about the high court was specific to wills only, if he reports it as stolen then he won't need to go to court at all for the police to investigate and potentially charge her with theft. They might not, they might say "it's a civil matter", but you never know, particularly if he has proof of purchase and registration docs and she doesn't have evidence it was gifted to her.

kidley   48 #39 Posted June 9, 2019 You may well be right but, i would imagine it would be county court with a solicitor, in any case with court proceedings it would prove expensive for him-her-or both.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Beauchiefs   10 #40 Posted June 10, 2019 I don't see too much helpful advise for you on here, mine would be to keep the car, you are the registered keeper and insurer. He gifted you the car and plates therefore they are yours to keep. It is up to him to prove otherwise, stick it out.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

One of the assumptions often stated is that the policyholder is also the registered keeper. Try getting a quote with your husband's insurer and read all the statements carefully, see what it says?  I have a policy on my friends car, they are the registered keeper and owner.  I had no problems taking out the policy, when asked if I was the owner/keeper I simply said no and that was absolutely fine. Policy is fully comp, for me only. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Just make sure you tell them the truth especially about young drivers and what its used for.

geared   302 #46 Posted June 10, 2019 Yes, well it'd be silly not to, especially if it's not your own vehicle.  but I had no problem getting an insurance policy for a car I did not own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
