(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 may 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.

The   bailee  may  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.

NY UCC § 8-103 (2021)
2021 New York Laws UCC - Uniform Commercial Code Article 8 - Investment Securities Part 1 - Short Title and General Matters 8-103 - Rules for Determining Whether Certain Obligations and Interests Are Securities or Financial Assests.

Section 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, even though it also meets the requirements of  that Article. However, a negotiable instrument governed by Article 3 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 9--102(a)(15), is not a security or a financial asset.  (g) A document of title  is  not  a  financial  asset  unless  Section 8--102(a)(9)(iii) applies.  (h)  An obligation, share, participation, or interest does not satisfy Section 8--102(a)(13)(ii) or 8--102(a)(15)(i) merely because the  issuer or a person acting on its behalf:  (1)  maintains  records  of the owner thereof for a purpose other than registration of transfer; or  (2)  could,  but  does  not,  maintain  books  for  the   purpose   of registration of transfer.

2021 New York Laws UCC - Uniform Commercial Code Article 8 - Investment Securities Part 1 - Short Title and General Matters 8-104 - Acquistion of Security or Financial Assest or Interest Therein.

Section 8--104. Acquisition  of  Security or Financial Asset or Interest                   Therein.  (a) A person acquires a security or an interest  therein,  under  this Article, if:       (1) the  person  is  a  purchaser to whom a security is delivered            pursuant to Section 8--301; or       (2) the person acquires a security entitlement  to  the  security            pursuant to Section 8--501.  (b) A  person acquires a financial asset, other than a security, or an interest therein, under this Article, if the person acquires a  security entitlement to the financial asset.  (c) A  person  who  acquires  a  security entitlement to a security or other financial asset has the rights specified  in  Part  5,  but  is  a purchaser  of  any  security,  security  entitlement, or other financial asset held by the securities intermediary only to the extent provided in Section 8--503.  (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).
NY UCC § 8-105 (2021)
2021 New York Laws UCC - Uniform Commercial Code Article 8 - Investment Securities Part 1 - Short Title and General Matters 8-105 - Notice of Adverse Claim.

Section 8--105. Notice of Adverse Claim.  (a) A person has notice of an adverse claim if:       (1) the person knows of the adverse claim;       (2) the  person  is  aware  of  facts sufficient to indicate that            there is a significant probability  that  the  adverse  claim            exists   and   deliberately  avoids  information  that  would            establish the existence of the adverse claim; or       (3) the person has a duty, imposed by statute or  regulation,  to            investigate   whether   an  adverse  claim  exists,  and  the            investigation so required would establish  the  existence  of            the adverse claim.  (b) Having  knowledge that a financial asset or interest therein is or has been transferred by a representative imposes no duty of inquiry into the rightfulness of a transaction and is not notice of an adverse claim. 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)   Except  as  provided in section 9--516(e), filing of a financing statement under Article 9 is  not  notice  of  an  adverse  claim  to  a financial asset.

(b) An indorsement, instruction, or entitlement order is effective if:       (1) it is made by the appropriate person;       (2) it is made by a person who has power under the law of  agency            to  transfer the security or financial asset on behalf of the            appropriate person, including, in the case of an  instruction            or  entitlement order, a person who has control under Section            8--106(c)(2) or (d)(2); or       (3) the appropriate  person  has  ratified  it  or  is  otherwise            precluded from asserting its ineffectiveness.

(d) If a security is registered in the name of or  specially  indorsed to a person described as a representative, or if a securities account is maintained  in  the  name  of a person described as a representative, an indorsement, instruction, or entitlement order made  by  the  person  is effective  even  though the person is no longer serving in the described capacity.  (e) Effectiveness of an indorsement, instruction, or entitlement order is  determined  as  of  the  date  the  indorsement,   instruction,   or entitlement   order   is  made,  and  an  indorsement,  instruction,  or entitlement order does not become ineffective by  reason  of  any  later change of circumstances.
