Name in the insurance certificate has also to be transferred probably within a month. The seller is still the owner on the insurance certificate and hence liable to that extent. The purchaser is liable by virtue of being the owner in the transport record. Insurance laws say that only Y is liable. But I don't understand the recovery rights of insurance company.
