Personal Property Security Law in Saskatchewan: Background Paper May 1975
A personal property security transaction occurs when a person borrows money or purchases something on credit and gives the lender or seller security for the debt.

As a result, the Commission has decided to undertake a study of personal property law in the province with a final report to be submitted to the Attorney General.
