Specialists of Alliance Legal Consulting Group together with the National Union of Bibliophiles compiled a Memo to a bibliophile who bought a counterfeit at an auction, with the advice of professional lawyers:
- Evgeny Karnoukhov, Managing Partner;
- Elena Mikhailovskaya, Lawyer, Counsellor of general and criminal law practice.
Auction is not only a purchase, but also entertainment, drive, adrenaline, because there is an opportunity to buy a collectible thing much cheaper.
- But what to do if the purchased book or autograph turned out to be fake ?
-️ How to return the money spent ?
- Is the auction house liable for the sale of a fake ?
About what role the law assigns to each participant of the auction sale and whether you will need a forensic examination, you can read in ‘MEMORIAL BIBLIOPHILE. ADVICE OF PROFESSIONAL LAWYERS’.
And also in the new issue‘About Books. Journal of bibliophiles’ (№3-4 for 2024) on the website of the National Union of Bibliophiles.
