acquirer

1. A person, or company that acquires something.

‘many acquisitions failed to create value for the acquirer's shareholders because too much was paid to the target's shareholders’ ‘they are now the biggest foreign acquirers of Queensland property’ (Oxford Dictionary)

If an acquirer in good faith is to be preferred to the original owner, the onus should be on the acquirer to establish his own good faith and acquisition of possession. (Corporeal moveables - Scottish Law Commission)

The scope of the owner's right of vindication is in general limited by the Germanic rule, 'movables can not be pursued' (mobilia non habent sequelam) which protects the bona fide acquirer of movable property. (Introduction to the Law of South Africa)
