Utah Code § 70A-2-501

Insurable interest in goods -- Manner of identification of goods
Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
(1) The buyer obtains a special property and an insurable interest in goods by identification of
existing goods as goods to which the contract refers even though the goods so identified are
nonconforming and he has an option to return or reject them. Such identification can be made
at any time and in any manner explicitly agreed to by the parties. In the absence of explicit
agreement identification occurs
(a) when the contract is made if it is for the sale of goods already existing and identified;
(b) if the contract is for the sale of future goods other than those described in paragraph (c),
when goods are shipped, marked or otherwise designated by the seller as goods to which the
contract refers;
(c) when the crops are planted or otherwise become growing crops or the young are conceived
if the contract is for the sale of unborn young to be born within 12 months after contracting or
for the sale of crops to be harvested within 12 months or the next normal harvest season after
contracting whichever is longer.

(2) The seller retains an insurable interest in goods so long as title to or any security interest in the
goods remains in him and where the identification is by the seller alone he may until default or
insolvency or notification to the buyer that the identification is final substitute other goods for
those identified.
(3) Nothing in this section impairs any insurable interest recognized under any other statute or rule
of law.
