2021 Missouri Revised Statutes|Title XXVI - Trade and Commerce|Chapter 400 - Uniform Commercial Code|Section 400.7-601 - Lost and missing documents.

Effective - 28 Aug 2017, 2 histories   400.7-601. Lost and missing documents. — (a) If a document of title is lost, stolen, or destroyed, a court may order delivery of the goods or issuance of a substitute document and the bailee may without liability to any person comply with the order. If the document was negotiable, a court shall not order delivery of the goods or issuance of a substitute document without the claimant's posting security unless it finds that any person that may suffer loss as a result of nonsurrender of possession or control of the document is adequately protected against the loss. If the document was nonnegotiable, the court may require security. The court may also order payment of the bailee's reasonable costs and attorney's fees in any action under this subsection.  (b) A bailee that, without a court order, delivers goods to a person claiming under a missing negotiable document of title is liable to any person injured thereby. If the delivery is not in good faith, the bailee is liable for conversion. Delivery in good faith is not conversion if the claimant posts security with the bailee in an amount at least double the value of the goods at the time of posting to indemnify any person injured by the delivery which files a notice of claim within one year after the delivery. ­­-------- (L. 1963 p. 503 § 7-601, A.L. 2017 H.B. 34)

Effective - 28 Aug 2017, 2 histories   400.7-602. Attachment of goods covered by a negotiable document. — Unless a document of title was originally issued upon delivery of the goods by a person that did not have power to dispose of them, a lien does not attach by virtue of any judicial process to goods in the possession of a bailee for which a negotiable document of title is outstanding unless possession or control of the document is first surrendered to the bailee or the document's negotiation is enjoined. The bailee shall not be compelled to deliver the goods pursuant to process until possession or control of the document is surrendered to the bailee or to the court. A purchaser of the document for value without notice of the process or injunction takes free of the lien imposed by judicial process. ­­-------- (L. 1963 p. 503 § 7-602, A.L. 2017 H.B. 34)

Effective - 01 Jul 2001   400.8-103. Rules for determining whether certain obligations and interests are securities or financial assets. — (a) A share or similar equity interest issued by a corporation, business trust, joint stock company or similar entity is a security.  (b) An "investment company security" is a security. "Investment company security" means a share or similar equity interest issued by an entity that is registered as an investment company under the federal investment company laws, an interest in a unit investment trust that is so registered, or a face-amount certificate issued by a face-amount certificate company that is so registered. Investment company security does not include an insurance policy or endowment policy or annuity contract issued by an insurance company.  (c) An interest in a partnership or limited liability company is not a security unless it is dealt in or traded on securities exchanges or in securities markets, its terms expressly provide that it is a security governed by this article, or it is an investment company security. However, an interest in a partnership or limited liability company is a financial asset if it is held in a securities account.  (d) A writing that is a security certificate is governed by this article and not by article 3 of this chapter, even though it also meets the requirements of that article. However, a negotiable instrument governed by article 3 of this chapter is a financial asset if it is held in a securities account.  (e) An option or similar obligation issued by a clearing corporation to its participants is not a security, but is a financial asset.  (f) A commodity contract, as defined in section 400.9-102(a)(14), is not a security or a financial asset. ­­-------- (L. 1963 p. 503 § 8-103, A.L. 1992 S.B. 448, A.L. 1997 S.B. 6, A.L. 2001 S.B. 288)  Effective 7-01-01

(d) Unless the context shows that a different meaning is intended, a person who is required by other law, regulation, rule or agreement to transfer, deliver, present, surrender, exchange or otherwise put in the possession of another person a security or financial asset satisfies that requirement by causing the other person to acquire an interest in the security or financial asset pursuant to subsection (a) or (b). ­­-------- (L. 1963 p. 503 § 8-104, A.L. 1992 S.B. 448, A.L. 1997 S.B. 6)

However, a person who knows that a representative has transferred a financial asset or interest therein in a transaction that is, or whose proceeds are being used, for the individual benefit of the representative or otherwise in breach of duty has notice of an adverse claim;  (c) An act or event that creates a right to immediate performance of the principal obligation represented by a security certificate or sets a date on or after which the certificate is to be presented or surrendered for redemption or exchange does not itself constitute notice of an adverse claim except in the case of a transfer more than:  (1) One year after a date set for presentment or surrender for redemption or exchange; or  (2) Six months after a date set for payment of money against presentation or surrender of the certificate, if money was available for payment on that date;  (d) A purchaser of a certificated security has notice of an adverse claim if the security certificate:  (1) Whether in bearer or registered form, has been indorsed "for collection" or "for surrender" or for some other purpose not involving transfer; or  (2) Is in bearer form and has on it an unambiguous statement that it is the property of a person other than the transferor, but the mere writing of a name on the certificate is not such a statement;  (e) Filing of a financing statement under article 9 of this chapter is not notice of an adverse claim to a financial asset. ­­-------- (L. 1963 p. 503 § 8-105, A.L. 1992 S.B. 448, A.L. 1997 S.B. 6)
