Rights
of sellers creditors against sold goods.
(1) Except as provided in subsections (2) and (3) of
this section, rights of unsecured creditors of the seller with respect to goods
which have been identified to a contract for sale are subject to the buyers
rights to recover the goods pursuant to ORS 72.5020 and 72.7160.
(2) A creditor of
the seller may treat a sale or an identification of goods to a contract for
sale as void if as against the creditor a retention of possession by the seller
is fraudulent under any rule of law of the state where the goods are situated,
except that retention of possession in good faith and current course of trade
by a merchant-seller for a commercially reasonable time after a sale or
identification is not fraudulent.
(3) Nothing in
this chapter shall be deemed to impair the rights of creditors of the seller:
(a) Under the
provisions of ORS chapter 79A on secured transactions; or
(b) Where
identification to the contract or delivery is made not in current course of
trade but in satisfaction of or as security for a preexisting claim for money,
security or the like and is made under circumstances which under any rule of
law of the state where the goods are situated would apart from this chapter
constitute the transaction a fraudulent transfer or voidable preference. [1961
