7-7-104
Section 7-7-104 Negotiable and nonnegotiable document of title. (a) Except as otherwise provided
in subsection (c), a document of title is negotiable if by its terms the goods are to be delivered
to bearer or to the order of a named person. (b) A document of title other than one described
in subsection (a) is nonnegotiable. A bill of lading that states that the goods are consigned
to a named person is not made negotiable by a provision that the goods are to be delivered
only against an order in a record signed by the same or another named person. (c) A document
of title is nonnegotiable if, at the time it is issued, the document has a conspicuous legend,
however expressed, that it is nonnegotiable. (Prior version of this section added by Acts
1965, No. 549, p. 811; repealed by Act 2004-315, p. 464, §1; current section added by Act
2004-315, p. 464, §1.)...

Section 7-7-501 Form of negotiation and requirements of due negotiation. (a) The following
rules apply to a negotiable tangible document of title: (1) If the document's original terms
run to the order of a named person, the document is negotiated by the named person's indorsement
and delivery. After the named person's indorsement in blank or to bearer, any person may negotiate
the document by delivery alone. (2) If the document's original terms run to bearer, it is
negotiated by delivery alone. (3) If the document's original terms run to the order of a named
person and it is delivered to the named person, the effect is the same as if the document
had been negotiated. (4) Negotiation of the document after it has been indorsed to a named
person requires indorsement by the named person and delivery. (5) A document is duly negotiated
if it is negotiated in the manner stated in this subsection to a holder that purchases it
in good faith, without notice of any defense against or claim to it...

7-2-505
Section 7-2-505 Seller's shipment under reservation. (1) Where the seller has identified goods
to the contract by or before shipment: (a) His procurement of a negotiable bill of lading
to his own order or otherwise reserves in him a security interest in the goods. His procurement
of the bill to the order of a financing agency or of the buyer indicates in addition only
the seller's expectation of transferring that interest to the person named. (b) A nonnegotiable
bill of lading to himself or his nominee reserves possession of the goods as security but
except in a case of conditional delivery (subsection (2) of Section 7-2-507) a nonnegotiable
bill of lading naming the buyer as consignee reserves no security interest even though the
seller retains possession or control of the bill of lading. (2) When shipment by the seller
with reservation of a security interest is in violation of the contract for sale, it constitutes
an improper contract for transportation within Section 7-2-504, but...

Section 7-7-601 Lost, stolen, or destroyed documents of title. (a) If a document of title is
lost, stolen, or destroyed, a court may order delivery of the goods or issuance of a substitute
document and the bailee may without liability to any person comply with the order. If the
document was negotiable, a court may not order delivery of the goods or issuance of a substitute
document without the claimant's posting security unless it finds that any person that may
suffer loss as a result of nonsurrender of possession or control of the document is adequately
protected against the loss. If the document was nonnegotiable, the court may require security.
The court may also order payment of the bailee's reasonable costs and attorney's fees in any
action under this subsection. (b) A bailee that, without a court order, delivers goods to
a person claiming under a missing negotiable document of title is liable to any person injured
thereby. If the delivery is not in good faith, the bailee is...

is lawfully issued in a set of parts, each of which contains an identification code and is
