(a) The holder of a negotiable bill; or
(b) The consignor on a nonnegotiable bill notwithstanding contrary instructions from the consignee; or
(c) The consignee on a nonnegotiable bill in the absence of contrary instructions from the consignor, if the goods have arrived at the billed destination or if the consignee is in possession of the bill; or
(d) The consignee on a nonnegotiable bill if the consignee is entitled as against the consignor to dispose of them.
(2) Unless such instructions are noted on a negotiable bill of lading, a person to whom the bill is duly negotiated can hold the bailee according to the original terms. [1961 c.726 §77.3030]
