Sellers
remedies on discovery of buyers insolvency.
(1) Where the seller discovers the buyer to be
insolvent the seller may refuse delivery except for cash including payment for
all goods theretofore delivered under the contract, and stop delivery under ORS
72.7050.
(2) Where the
seller discovers that the buyer has received goods on credit while insolvent
the seller may reclaim the goods upon demand made within 10 days after the
receipt, but if misrepresentation of solvency has been made to the particular
seller in writing within three months before delivery the 10-day limitation
does not apply. Except as provided in this subsection the seller may not base a
right to reclaim goods on the buyers fraudulent or innocent misrepresentation
of solvency or of intent to pay.
(3) The sellers
right to reclaim under subsection (2) of this section is subject to the rights
of a buyer in ordinary course or other good faith purchaser or lien creditor
under ORS 72.4030. Successful reclamation of goods excludes all other remedies
with respect to them. [1961 c.726 §72.7020]
