Official statutory text
SUBSEQUENT LEASE OF GOODS BY LESSOR
(1) Subject to Section 2A-303 of this title, a subsequent
lessee from a lessor of goods under an existing lease contract
Oklahoma Statutes - Title 12A. Uniform Commercial Code Page 251
obtains, to the extent of the leasehold interest transferred, the
leasehold interest in the goods that the lessor had or had power to
transfer, and except as provided in subsection (2) of this section
and subsection (4) of Section 2A-527 of this title, takes subject to
the existing lease contract. A lessor with voidable title has power
to transfer a good leasehold interest to a good faith subsequent
lessee for value, but only to the extent set forth in the preceding
sentence. If goods have been delivered under a transaction of
purchase, the lessor has that power even though:
(a) the lessor's transferor was deceived as to the
identity of the lessor;
(b) the delivery was in exchange for a check which is
later dishonored;
(c) it was agreed that the transaction was to be a "cash
sale"; or
(d) the delivery was procured through fraud punishable as
larcenous under the criminal law.
(2) A subsequent lessee in the ordinary course of business from
a lessor who is a merchant dealing in goods of that kind to whom the
goods were entrusted by the existing lessee of that lessor before
the interest of the subsequent lessee became enforceable against
that lessor obtains, to the extent of the leasehold interest
transferred, all of that lessor's and the existing lessee's rights
to the goods, and takes free of the existing lease contract.
(3) A subsequent lessee from the lessor of goods that are
subject to an existing lease contract and are covered by a
certificate of title issued under a statute of this state or of
another jurisdiction takes no greater rights than those provided
both by this section and by the certificate of title statute.
