Re: nemo dat rule applied to non-registered stock
UCC 8-303 provides an exception to the nemo dat rule for protected purchasers of securities.
It is irrelevant if the security is registered. The critical issues are whether the party is a protected purchaser and that the transfer involves a traditional security.
