The [http://canlii.ca/t/8495 ''Personal Property Security Act''] creates special rights where the collateral meets the definition of “consumer goods”. These are “goods that are used or acquired for use primarily for personal, family or household purposes” ([https://www.canlii.org/en/bc/laws/stat/rsbc-1996-c-359/latest/rsbc-1996-c-359.html#sec1_smooth section 1]). These special rights apply to “security leases” of consumer goods, but not to “true leases”; for more on this distinction, see the Leases section. | The [http://canlii.ca/t/8495 ''Personal Property Security Act''] creates special rights where the collateral meets the definition of “consumer goods”.

The following are some examples of how the consumer goods protections apply under the ''Personal Property Security Act''. In general, these rights cannot be waived by a debtor. In each example, assume that the security agreement was perfected, and that there are no competing secured parties (that is, there is no priority issue). | The following are some examples of how the consumer goods protections apply under the ''Personal Property Security Act''.
