Yount sold the automobile in another State to Turner and gave him a bill of sale. Can Lewis recover the automobile from Turner? Explain. |
Explanation
Section 2-403 (1) (d) states that a person may attain the voidable title and sell the goods, even though the person secured the carriage through fraud, which is illegal under the criminal law. This condition is fulfilled in this case. The transfer of the title has been given to Person T, a good faith purchaser. So, Person L may not win the case.
Verified Answer
The case is going to be in favor of Person T since the person has the title to the automobile. Person Y may have secured the voidable title, which has empowered them to redirect goods title to Person T, a bona fide patron for value.
