Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

810 ILCS 5/2-509

    (810 ILCS 5/2-509) (from Ch. 26, par. 2-509)
    Sec. 2-509. Risk of loss in the absence of breach.
    (1) Where the contract requires or authorizes the seller to ship the goods by carrier
        (a) if it does not require him to deliver them at a
    
particular destination, the risk of loss passes to the buyer when the goods are duly delivered to the carrier even though the shipment is under reservation (Section 2-505); but
        (b) if it does require him to deliver them at a
    
particular destination and the goods are there duly tendered while in the possession of the carrier, the risk of loss passes to the buyer when the goods are there duly so tendered as to enable the buyer to take delivery.
    (2) Where the goods are held by a bailee to be delivered without being moved, the risk of loss passes to the buyer
        (a) on his receipt of possession or control of a
    
negotiable document of title covering the goods; or
        (b) on acknowledgment by the bailee of the buyer's
    
right to possession of the goods; or
        (c) after his receipt of possession or control of a
    
non-negotiable document of title or other direction to deliver in a record, as provided in subsection (4) (b) of Section 2-503.
    (3) In any case not within subsection (1) or (2), the risk of loss passes to the buyer on his receipt of the goods if the seller is a merchant; otherwise the risk passes to the buyer on tender of delivery.
    (4) The provisions of this Section are subject to contrary agreement of the parties and to the provisions of this Article on sale on approval (Section 2-327) and on effect of breach on risk of loss (Section 2-510).
