§2-1526. Lessor's stoppage of delivery in transit or otherwise
(1). A lessor may stop delivery of goods in the possession of a carrier or other bailee if the lessor discovers the lessee to be insolvent and may stop delivery of carload, truckload, planeload or larger shipments of express or freight if the lessee repudiates or fails to make a payment due before delivery, whether for rent, security or otherwise under the lease contract, or for any other reason the lessor has a right to withhold or take possession of the goods.
[PL 1991, c. 805, §4 (NEW).]
(2). In pursuing remedies under subsection (1), the lessor may stop delivery until:
(a). Receipt of the goods by the lessee; [PL 1991, c. 805, §4 (NEW).]
(b). Acknowledgment to the lessee by any bailee of the goods, except a carrier, that the bailee holds the goods for the lessee; or [PL 1991, c. 805, §4 (NEW).]
