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

Section 7-7-602 Judicial process against goods covered by negotiable document of title. Unless
a document of title was originally issued upon delivery of the goods by a person that did
not have power to dispose of them, a lien does not attach by virtue of any judicial process
to goods in the possession of a bailee for which a negotiable document of title is outstanding
unless possession or control of the document is first surrendered to the bailee or the document's
negotiation is enjoined. The bailee may not be compelled to deliver the goods pursuant to
process until possession or control of the document is surrendered to the bailee or to the
court. A purchaser of the document for value without notice of the process or injunction takes
free of the lien imposed by judicial process. (Prior version of this section added by Acts
