LESSOR'S STOPPAGE OF DELIVERY IN TRANSIT OR OTHERWISE

(1) 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.

(2) In pursuing its remedies under subsection (1) of this

section, the lessor may stop delivery until:

(a) receipt of the goods by the lessee;

(b) acknowledgement to the lessee by any bailee of the goods,

except a carrier, that the bailee holds the goods for the lessee; or

(c) such an acknowledgment to the lessee by a carrier via

reshipment or as a warehouse.

(3) (a) To stop delivery, a lessor shall so notify as to

enable the bailee by reasonable diligence to prevent delivery of the

goods.

(b) 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.

(c) A carrier who has issued a nonnegotiable bill of lading is

not obligated to obey a notification to stop received from a person

other than the consignor.
