This article explains the registration requirements, the most common errors and the real cases where creditors lost millions because of a single mistake on the PPSR. Last reviewed 28 November 2024 · Reviewed by [Jamie Nuich](/attorney/jamie-nuich), Legal Practitioner Director ## Key Takeaways - Under s 267 of the Personal Property Securities Act 2009 (Cth), an unperfected security interest vests in the grantor on insolvency, meaning the secured creditor loses the security entirely and becomes an unsecured creditor. - A registration on the PPSR is ineffective if it is 'seriously misleading' under s 164, most commonly due to an incorrect grantor name or ACN that does not match the ASIC register. - Purchase money security interests (PMSIs) receive super-priority under s 62 but must be registered within 15 business days for non-inventory collateral and before the grantor obtains possession for inventory. - Retention of title clauses are treated as security interests under the PPSA and must be registered on the PPSR to be effective; unregistered retention of title is vested under s 267 on the customer's insolvency. - All security interests must be registered within 20 business days of the security agreement coming into force under s 588FL to avoid vesting on insolvency. ![A PPSR registration screen, illustrating how registration failures can destroy creditor rights](/images/articles/ppsr-registration.jpg) In This Article 1.

Conclusion](#conclusion) The Personal Property Securities Act 2009 (Cth) replaced over 70 pieces of Commonwealth, state and territory legislation with a single national framework for security interests in personal property. At its core is a simple principle: if you do not register your security interest on the Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR), you risk losing it entirely. The consequences of getting registration wrong have been demonstrated in case after case since the PPSA commenced in 2012. Astris Law advises secured creditors on PPSA compliance and has seen firsthand the damage that registration failures cause. **Concerned about your security interest registration?** A single error can destroy your priority. We advise on PPSA compliance and PPSR registration. Call [(07) 3519 5616](tel:+61735195616). ## What Is at Stake: The Vesting Rule Section 267 of the PPSA is the provision that catches most creditors off guard. If a security interest is unperfected (typically meaning unregistered) at the time the grantor enters administration or is wound up, the security interest **vests in the grantor**. The secured party loses the security entirely. The asset becomes available to the administrator or liquidator for distribution to unsecured creditors. This is not a theoretical risk. In _Alleasing Pty Ltd v OneSteel Manufacturing Pty Ltd_ \[2012\] NSWSC 1202, unperfected lease interests were vested in the grantor on administration. The lessor was left as an unsecured creditor with no priority over the leased equipment it had supplied. ## The "Seriously Misleading" Test (s 164) Even where a creditor has registered on the PPSR, errors in the registration can render it ineffective. Under s 164, a registration is ineffective if it is "seriously misleading" because of an error in the data. The most common defect is an incorrect grantor name or ACN. In _Hamersley Iron Pty Ltd v Forge Group Power Pty Ltd (in liq)_ \[2017\] WASC 152, a registration was challenged because the grantor's name on the PPSR did not match its registered name with ASIC. The court applied the "seriously misleading" test and found the registration ineffective. The secured creditor lost priority. The practical lesson: always verify the grantor's exact legal name and ACN/ABN against the ASIC register before lodging a registration. A trading name or abbreviated name is not sufficient. ## The 20 Business Day Rule and PMSI Super-Priority A purchase money security interest (PMSI) arises where the secured party supplies the collateral or provides the funds to acquire it. PMSIs receive super-priority under s 62 - they rank ahead of all other security interests in the same collateral, even those registered earlier. However, super-priority is conditional. For collateral other than inventory, the PMSI must be perfected (registered) before the end of 15 business days after the grantor obtains possession. For inventory, the PMSI must be registered **before** the grantor obtains possession. Missing these deadlines means the PMSI loses its super-priority status and ranks as an ordinary perfected security interest. The 20 business day rule under s 588FL is equally critical: a security interest must be registered within 20 business days of the security agreement coming into force to avoid vesting on insolvency. This is separate from the PMSI timing requirement and applies to all security interests. ## Retention of Title under the PPSA Before the PPSA, retention of title (Romalpa) clauses were governed by common law and could be enforced without registration. Under the PPSA, a retention of title arrangement is a security interest and must be registered on the PPSR to be effective. Many trade suppliers still rely on retention of title clauses in their terms and conditions without registering on the PPSR. When their customer enters administration, they discover that their retention of title clause has been vested under s 267 and they have no priority over the goods they supplied. This remains one of the most common PPSA traps for trade creditors. ## Leases and Bailments Certain leases and bailments are deemed security interests under the PPSA regardless of whether the parties intended to create a security arrangement. A lease of goods for a term of more than two years (or more than one year for serial-numbered goods) is a "PPS lease" that must be registered. Equipment lessors who fail to register face the same vesting risk as any other unperfected secured creditor. ## Practical Steps for Creditors - Register every security interest on the PPSR immediately - do not wait for the transaction to settle - Verify the grantor's legal name and ACN against the ASIC register before registering - Use a diary system to track registration expiry dates and renew before lapse - Search the PPSR before extending credit to identify existing security interests - Review all supply agreements and terms of trade to identify retention of title clauses that need PPSR registration - For PMSIs, register within the statutory timeframes to preserve super-priority ## Conclusion The PPSA is unforgiving. A single registration error - a misspelled name, a missed deadline, a lapsed registration - can result in a total loss of security worth millions of dollars. The cost of getting registration right is negligible compared to the cost of getting it wrong.
