Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
(1) Except as provided in subs. (2) and (3), rights of unsecured creditors of the seller with respect to goods which have
been identified to a contract for sale are subject to the buyer’s
rights to recover the goods under ss. 402.502 and 402.716.
(2) A creditor of the seller may treat a sale or an identification
of goods to a contract for sale as void, if as against the creditor a
retention of possession by the seller is fraudulent under any rule
of law of the state where the goods are situated, except that retention of possession in good faith and current course of trade by a
merchant-seller for a commercially reasonable time after a sale or
identification is not fraudulent.
(3) Nothing in this chapter shall be deemed to impair the
rights of creditors of the seller:
(a) Under the provisions of ch. 409; or
(b) Where identification to the contract or delivery is made
not in current course of trade but in satisfaction of or as security
for a preexisting claim for money, security or the like and is made
under circumstances which under any rule of law of the state
where the goods are situated would apart from this chapter constitute the transaction a fraudulent or voidable transfer or voidable preference.
