(1) Deliver or entrust the goods or any document of title covering the goods to the bailor or the bailor’s nominee with:
(A) Actual or apparent authority to ship, store, or sell;
(B) Power to obtain delivery under section 28-7-403; or
(C) Power of disposition under section 28-2-403, 28-12-304(2), 28-12-305(2), 28-9-320 or 28-9-321(c), or other statute or rule of law; or
(2) Acquiesce in the procurement by the bailor or its nominee of any document.
(b) Title to goods based upon an unaccepted delivery order is subject to the rights of any person to which a negotiable warehouse receipt or bill of lading covering the goods has been duly negotiated. That title may be defeated under section 28-7-504 to the same extent as the rights of the issuer or a transferee from the issuer.
