§ 305. § 2A—305.

  • Sale or sublease of goods by lessee (1) Subject to the provisions of section 2A—303 of this title, a buyer or sublessee from the lessee of goods under an existing lease contract obtains,
    to the extent of the interest transferred, the leasehold interest in the goods that
    the lessee had or had power to transfer, and except as provided in subsection (2)
    of this section and section 2A—511(4) of this title, takes subject to the existing lease contract. A lessee with a voidable leasehold
    interest has power to transfer a good leasehold interest to a good faith buyer for
    value or a good faith sublessee for value, but only to the extent set forth in the
    preceding sentence. When goods have been delivered under a transaction of lease the
    lessee has that power even though: (a) the lessor was deceived as to the identity of the lessee; (b) the delivery was in exchange for a check which is later dishonored; or (c) the delivery was procured through fraud punishable as larcenous under the criminal
    law. (2) A buyer in the ordinary course of business or a sublessee in the ordinary course of
    business from a lessee who is a merchant dealing in goods of that kind to whom the
    goods were entrusted by the lessor obtains, to the extent of the interest transferred,
    all of the lessor’s and lessee’s rights to the goods, and takes free of the existing
    lease contract. (3) A buyer or sublessee from the lessee of goods that are subject to an existing lease
    contract and are covered by a certificate of title issued under a statute of this
    state or of another jurisdiction takes no greater rights than those provided both
    by this section and by the certificate of title statute. (Added 1993, No. 158 (Adj. Sess.), § 10, eff. Jan. 1, 1995.)
