    Strawberry Vegetable Auction, Inc. v. Railway Exp. Agency, Inc., 143 So. 665 (La. Ct. App. 1932), relied on by Conrail, is distinguishable, as the consignee in that case had diverted the goods from their original destination. See, e.g., Ninth St. East, Ltd. v. Harrison, 6 Conn. Cir. Ct. 597, 602 (1968); Newth-Morris Box Corp. v. Pennsylvania R.R., 197 Md. 119, 127 (1950); Grover v. Hines, 66 Mont. 230, 234 (1923); Robb v. American Ry. Exp. Co., 78 Pa.

  2. Morrison v. Favero

    Case No: 2:18-CV-0054-TOR (E.D. Wash. Sep. 12, 2018)

    Importantly, Division 3 of the Washington Court of Appeals relied upon Section 2-401 in determining who had title for the very purpose of determining who could bring suit for negligent transportation. See Rogers Walla Walla, Inc. v. Willis Shaw Frozen Express, Inc., 23 Wash. App. 540, 543 (1979); see also RCW 62A.2-401 (Washington Comment: "The Washington court has resolved still other problems by first locating title."). As such, Washington courts have relied on the UCC passage of title provision for determining ownership for purposes of standing in a tort case.

Interest is generally owing by the debtor from the date the debt is due or from the date the debtor refuses to pay. Brownie's Army Navy Store, Inc. v. E.J.
