(b)If different lots of fungible goods are commingled, the goods are owned in common by the persons entitled to them and the warehouse is severally liable to each owner for the share of that owner.

Legislative History

HISTORY: 1962 Code SECTION 10.7-207; 1966 (54) 2716; 2014 Act No. 213 (S.343), SECTION 2, eff October 1, 2014. OFFICIAL COMMENT Prior Uniform Statutory Provision: Former Section 7-207. Changes: Changes for style only. Purposes: No change of substance is made from former Section 7-207. Holders to whom overissued receipts have been duly negotiated shall share in a mass of fungible goods. Where individual ownership interests are merged into claims on a common fund, as is necessarily the case with fungible goods, there is no policy reason for discriminating between successive purchasers of similar claims.
