(1) Where movable property is sold by public auction, the price of each lot shall be paid at the time of sale or as soon after as the Tax Recovery Officer directs and, in default of payment, the property shall forthwith be re-sold.

(2) On payment of the purchase money, the Tax Recovery Officer shall grant a certificate specifying the property purchased, the price paid and the name of the purchaser and the sale shall become absolute.

(3) Where the movable property to be sold is a share in goods belonging to the defaulter and a co-owner, and two or more persons, of whom one is such co-owner respectively, bid the same sum for such property or for any lot, the bidding shall be deemed to be the bidding of the co-owner.
