STOPPAGE IN TRANSITU
(bouvier) | STOPPAGE IN TRANSITU, contracts. This is the name of that act of a vendor of
goods, upon a credit, who, on learning that the buyer has failed, resumes
the possession of the goods, while they are in the hands of a carrier or
middle-man, in their transit to the buyer, and before they get, into his
actual possession.
2. The subject will be considered with reference to, 1. The person who
has a right to stop goods in transitu. 2. The property which may be stopped.
3. The time when to be stopped. 4. The, manner of stopping. 5. The failure
of the buyer. 6. The effect of stopping.
3.-1. The right of stopping property in transitu is confined to cases
in which the consignor is substantially the seller; and does not extend to a
mere surety for the price, nor to any person who does not rest his claim on
a proprietor's right. 6 East, R. 371; 4 Burr. 2047; 3 T. R. 119, 783; 1
Bell's Com. 224.
4.-2. The property stopped must be personal property actually sold or
bartered, on a credit. 2 Dall. 180; 1 Yeates, 177.
5.-3. It must be stopped during the transit, and while something
remains to be done to complete the delivery; for the actual or symbolical,
delivery of the goods to the buyer puts an end to the right of the seller to
stop the goods in transitu; 3 T. R. 464; 8 T. R. 199; but it has been
decided that if, before delivery, the seller annex a condition that
security, shall be given before taking possession; or that the price shall
be paid in ready money; or that a bill shall be delivered; the property will
not pass by the mere act of the buyer's attaining the possession. 3 Esp.
Rep. 58., When the seller has given the buyer documents sufficient to
transfer the property, and the buyer, upon the strength of such documents,
has sold the goods to a bona fide purchaser without notice, the seller is
divested of his rights 2 W. C. C. R. 283; but a resale by the buyer does
not, of itself, and without other circumstances, destroy the vendor's right
of stoppage in transitu. 6 Taunt. R. 433 Vide Delivery; and 1 Rawle's R. 9;
1 Ashm. R. 103; Harr. Dig. Sale, III. 4; 7 Taunt. R. 59; 2 Marsh. R. 366;
Holt's R. 248; 1 Moore's R. 526; 3 B. & P. 320; Id. 119; 5 East, R. 175.
6.-4 The manner of stopping the goods is usually by taking corporal
possession of them; but this is not the only way it may be done; the seller
may put in his claim or demand of his right to the goods either verbally or
in writing. 2 B. & P. 257, 462; 2 Esp. R. 613; Co. Bankr. Law, 494; Holt's
Cases, N. B. 338. Vide Corporal Touch.
7.-5. The buyer must have actually failed, or be in actual and
immediate danger of insolvency.
8.-6. The stopping of goods in transitu does not of itself rescind the
contract. 1 Atk. 245; Co. B. L. 394; 6 East, R. 27, n. The seller may,
therefore, upon offering to deliver them, recover the price. 1 Campb. 109; 6
Taunt. 162. But inasmuch as the seller is permitted in equity to annul the
transfer he has made, by stopping the goods on their transit, and by that
means to deprive the general creditors of the buyer of property, which, in
strict law, has passed to their debtor, it has been considered as equitable,
on the other hand, that this act should be accompanied by a rescinding of
the whole contract, and a renunciation of any further claim; since it would
be a great hardship to give a preference to the seller over, the other
creditors; and subject the divisible funds, which have derived no benefit
from the contract, to a further claim of indemnification. 1 Bell's Com. B.
2, pt. 3, c. 2, s. 2, Sec. 5.
