Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.
(810 ILCS 5/7-504) (from Ch. 26, par. 7-504)
Sec. 7-504. Rights acquired in absence of due negotiation; effect of diversion; stoppage of delivery.
(a) A transferee of a document of title, whether negotiable or nonnegotiable, to which the document has been delivered but not duly negotiated, acquires the title and rights that its transferor had or had actual authority to convey. (b) In the case of a transfer of a nonnegotiable document of title, until but not after the bailee receives notice of the transfer, the rights of the transferee may be defeated: (1) by those creditors of the transferor which could |
| treat the transfer as void under Section 2-402 or 2A-308;
|
|
(2) by a buyer from the transferor in ordinary course
|
| of business if the bailee has delivered the goods to the buyer or received notification of the buyer's rights;
|
|
(3) by a lessee from the transferor in ordinary
|
| course of business if the bailee has delivered the goods to the lessee or received notification of the lessee's rights; or
|
|
(4) as against the bailee, by good-faith dealings of
|
| the bailee with the transferor.
|
|
(c) A diversion or other change of shipping instructions by the consignor in a nonnegotiable bill of lading which causes the bailee not to deliver the goods to the consignee defeats the consignee's title to the goods if the goods have been delivered to a buyer in ordinary course of business or a lessee in ordinary course of business and, in any event, defeats the consignee's rights against the bailee.
(d) Delivery of the goods pursuant to a nonnegotiable document of title may be stopped by a seller under Section 2-705 or a lessor under Section 2A-526, subject to the requirements of due notification in those Sections. A bailee that honors the seller's or lessor's instructions is entitled to be indemnified by the seller or lessor against any resulting loss or expense.
