Title 10, Chapter 4, Section 20
( 10-4-20)
(a) Warehouse receipts need not be in any particular form, but every
such receipt must embody within its written or printed terms: (1) The location of the warehouse where the goods are stored; (2) The date of issue of the receipt; (3) The consecutive number of the receipt; (4) A statement whether the goods received will be delivered to
the bearer, to a specified person, or to a specified person or his
order; (5) The rate of storage charges; (6) A description of the goods or of the packages containing them; (7) The signature of the warehouseman, which may be made by his
authorized agent; (8) If the receipt is issued for goods of which the warehouseman
is owner, either solely or jointly or in common with others, the
fact of such ownership; (9) A statement of the amount of advances made and of liabilities
incurred for which the warehouseman claims a lien. If the precise
amount of such advances made or of such liabilities incurred is,
at the time of the issue of the receipt, unknown to the
warehouseman or to his agent who issues it, a statement of the
fact that advances have been made or liabilities incurred and the
purpose thereof is sufficient; and (10) The amount and rate of insurance on the goods, provided that,
if there is no insurance thereon by reason of an agreement with
the depositor, the receipt shall be so stamped. (b) A warehouseman shall be liable to any person injured thereby for
all damage caused by the omission from a negotiable receipt of any
of the terms required by this Code section. |
