A delivers jewellery to B on 'sale or return'; B pledges it with C. The effect is that:
AProperty passed to B (he adopted the transaction), so A can only recover the price from B
BThe pledge is void
CC must return it to A
DA can recover the jewellery from C
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Property passed to B (he adopted the transaction), so A can only recover the price from B
By pledging, B did an act adopting the transaction, so property passed to him; A's remedy is to recover the price from B, not the goods from C.
