Title 45. Trade and Commerce

Chapter 2. Sales

Section 403. Power to Transfer; Good Faith Purchase of Goods; "Entrusting.".

AS 45.02.403. Power to Transfer; Good Faith Purchase of Goods; "Entrusting.".

(a) A purchaser of goods acquires all title which the transferor had or had power to transfer, except that a purchaser of a limited interest acquires rights only to the extent of the interest purchased. A person with voidable title has power to transfer a good title to a good faith purchaser for value. When goods have been delivered under a transaction of purchase, the purchaser has such power even though

(1) the transferor was deceived as to the identity of the purchaser;

(2) the delivery was in exchange for a check which was later dishonored;

(3) it was agreed that the transaction was to be a "cash sale"; or

(4) the delivery was procured through fraud punishable as larcenous under the criminal law.

(b) An entrusting of possession of goods to a merchant who deals in goods of that kind gives the merchange power to transfer all rights of the entruster to a buyer in ordinary course of business.

(c) "Entrusting" includes a delivery and an acquiescence in retention of possession regardless of a condition expressed between the parties to the delivery or acquiescence and regardless of whether the procurement of the entrusting or the possessor's disposition of the goods is larcenous under the criminal law.

(d) The rights of other purchasers of goods and of lien creditors are governed by AS 45.07 and AS 45.29.
