Ohio § 1307.503

§ 1307.503.

(A) A document of title confers no right in goods against a person that before issuance

of the document had a legal interest or a perfected security interest in the goods

and that did not: (1) Deliver or entrust the goods or any document of title covering the goods to the bailor

or the bailor's nominee with: (a) Actual or apparent authority to ship, store, or sell; (b) Power to obtain delivery under section 1307.403 of the Revised Code ; or (c) Power of disposition under division (C) of section 1309.321 or section 1302.44 , 1309.320 , 1310.32 , or 1310.33 of the Revised Code , or other statute or rule of law;  or (2) Acquiesce in the procurement by the bailor or its nominee of any document. (B) Title to goods based upon an unaccepted delivery order is subject to the rights of

any person to which a negotiable warehouse receipt or bill of lading covering the

goods has been duly negotiated.  That title may be defeated under section 1307.504 of the Revised Code to the same extent as the rights of the issuer or a transferee from the issuer. (C) Title to goods based upon a bill of lading issued to a freight forwarder is subject

to the rights of any person to which a bill issued by the freight forwarder is duly

negotiated.  However, delivery by the carrier in accordance with sections 1307.401 to 1307.404 of the Revised Code pursuant to its own bill of lading discharges the carrier's obligation to deliver.
