Terms Used In Alaska Statutes 45.07.402

  • Damages: Money paid by defendants to successful plaintiffs in civil cases to compensate the plaintiffs for their injuries.
  • goods: means all things that are treated as movable for the purposes of a contract for storage or transportation. See Alaska Statutes 45.07.112
  • issuer: includes a person for whom an agent or employee purports to act in issuing a document if the agent or employee has real or apparent authority to issue documents, even if the issuer did not receive the goods, the goods were misdescribed, or in another respect the agent or employee violated the issuer's instructions. See Alaska Statutes 45.07.112

A duplicate or another document of title purporting to cover goods already represented by an outstanding document of the same issuer does not confer a right in the goods, except as provided in the case of tangible bills of lading in a set of parts, overissue of documents for fungible goods, substitutes for lost, stolen, or destroyed documents, or substitute documents issued under Alaska Stat. § 45.07.115. The issuer is liable for damages caused by the issuer’s overissue or failure to identify a duplicate document by a conspicuous notation.
