Sec. 42a-8-307. Purchaser's right to requisites for registration of transfer. - Connecticut Statutes

      Sec. 42a-8-307. Purchaser's right to requisites for registration of transfer. Unless otherwise agreed, the transferor of a security on due demand shall supply the purchaser with proof of authority to transfer or with any other requisite necessary to obtain registration of the transfer of the security, but if the transfer is not for value, a transferor need not comply unless the purchaser pays the necessary expenses. If the transferor fails within a reasonable time to comply with the demand, the purchaser may reject or rescind the transfer.

      (1959, P.A. 133, S. 8-307; P.A. 79-435, S. 22; P.A. 97-182, S. 33.)

      History: P.A. 79-435 specified applicability to "certificated" securities; P.A. 97-182 entirely replaced former provisions re effect of delivery without endorsement and the right of the purchaser to compel endorsement with provisions re the right of the purchaser to demand that the transferor supply requisites necessary to obtain registration of the transfer, a restatement of Sec. 42a-8-316, revised to 1997.

      See Sec. 42a-8-304(d) for successor provisions to Sec. 42a-8-307, revised to 1997, re effect of delivery without endorsement and the right of the purchaser to compel endorsement.
