Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
Where a 3rd party so deals with goods which have been identified
to a contract for sale as to cause actionable injury to a party to that
contract:
(1) A right of action against the 3rd party is in either party to
the contract for sale who has title to or a security interest or a special property or an insurable interest in the goods; and if the
goods have been destroyed or converted a right of action is also in
the party who either bore the risk of loss under the contract for
sale or has since the injury assumed that risk as against the other;
(2) If at the time of the injury the party plaintiff did not bear
the risk of loss as against the other party to the contract for sale
and there is no arrangement between them for disposition of the
recovery, the plaintiff’s suit or settlement is, subject to the plaintiff’s own interest, as a fiduciary for the other party to the
contract;
(3) Either party may with the consent of the other sue for the
benefit of whom it may concern.
