buyer's fraudulent or innocent misrepresentation of <br />solvency or of intent to pay. <br />(3) The seller's right to reclaim under subsection (2) of <br />this section is subject to the rights of a buyer in the <br />ordinary course or other good faith purchaser or lien <br />creditor under this article (section 4-2-403). <br />.Successful reclamation of goods excludes all other <br />remedies with respect to them. <br />In interpreting the pertinent reclamation statutes, federal <br />courts have held that possession of goods in an unaltered state <br />by the buyer is a logical necessity with respect to reclamation <br />rights. A person seeking reclamation must prove that the <br />reclamation goods were in the debtor's possession when the debtor <br />received the reclamation demand. In re Rawson Food Service. <br />Inc., 846 F.2d 1343 (11th Cir. 1988) (finding that dismissal of <br />reclamation adversary proceeding is proper where the plaintiff <br />failed to plead that the reclamation goods were in the possession <br />of the debtor at the time demand for reclamation vas made) (see <br />also cases cited therein). Furthermore, reclamation goods must <br />be identifiable and not dissipated or transformed into finished <br />product at the time a reclamation demand is made. Archer Daniels <br />Midland v. Charter International Oil Co., 60 Bankr. 854 (M.D. <br />Fla. 1986) (reclamation rights extends only to those goods which <br />were identifiable at time demand for reclamation was received). <br />This requirement is in keeping with the spirit of reclamation; if <br />there are no identifiable goods in the hands of a buyer, <br />reclaiming the goods from such buyer is impossible. <br />9 <br />
