Legal dispute over bankruptcy and transport of goods
In a trucking bankruptcy case, plaintiffs claim they may reclaim goods from a carrier after their vendor became insolvent. Lord Mansfield and others rule that possession must be with the seller or buyer, and that goods in transit or in a carrier's custody may still be seized by creditors, but the assignees’ countermand was too late. judgmentUltimately dismissing the plaintiffs' demand, the court ruled for the defendant, denying recovery of the goods.
