Section 2A526 - Lessor's stoppage of delivery in transit or otherwise

     § 2A526.  Lessor's stoppage of delivery in transit or otherwise.
        (a)  General rule.--A lessor may stop delivery of goods in
     the possession of a carrier or other bailee if the lessor
     discovers the lessee to be insolvent and may stop delivery of
     carload, truckload, planeload or larger shipments of express or
     freight if the lessee repudiates or fails to make a payment due
     before delivery, whether for rent, security or otherwise under
     the lease contract, or for any other reason the lessor has a
     right to withhold or take possession of the goods.
        (b)  When lessor loses right.--In pursuing its remedies under
     subsection (a), the lessor may stop delivery until:
            (1)  receipt of the goods by the lessee;
            (2)  acknowledgment to the lessee by any bailee of the
        goods, except a carrier, that the bailee holds the goods for
        the lessee; or
            (3)  such an acknowledgment to the lessee by a carrier
        via reshipment or as a warehouse.
        (c)  Notice and compliance.--
            (1)  To stop delivery, a lessor shall so notify as to
        enable the bailee by reasonable diligence to prevent delivery
        of the goods.
            (2)  After notification, the bailee shall hold and
        deliver the goods according to the directions of the lessor,
        but the lessor is liable to the bailee for any ensuing
        charges or damages.
            (3)  A carrier who has issued a nonnegotiable bill of
        lading is not obliged to obey a notification to stop received
        from a person other than the consignor.
