delivery of goods in the possession of a carrier or other bailee when he discovers the buyer

7-7-309
Section 7-7-309 Duty of care; contractual limitation of carrier's liability. (a) A carrier
that issues a bill of lading, whether negotiable or nonnegotiable, shall exercise the degree
of care in relation to the goods which a reasonably careful person would exercise under similar
circumstances. This subsection does not affect any statute, regulation, or rule of law that
imposes liability upon a common carrier for damages not caused by its negligence. (b) Damages
may be limited by a term in the bill of lading or in a transportation agreement that the carrier's
liability may not exceed a value stated in the bill or transportation agreement if the carrier's
rates are dependent upon value and the consignor is afforded an opportunity to declare a higher
value and the consignor is advised of the opportunity. However, such a limitation is not effective
with respect to the carrier's liability for conversion to its own use. (c) Reasonable provisions
as to the time and manner of presenting claims...

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...

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

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
