(810 ILCS 5/2A-308) (from Ch. 26, par. 2A-308)
Sec. 2A-308.
Special rights of creditors.
(1) A creditor of a lessor in possession of goods subject
to a lease contract may treat the lease contract as void if as
against the creditor retention of possession by the lessor is
fraudulent under any statute or rule of law, but retention of
possession in good faith and current course of trade by the
lessor for a commercially reasonable time after the lease contract
becomes enforceable is not fraudulent.
(2) Nothing in this Article impairs the rights of creditors
of a lessor if the lease contract (a) becomes enforceable, not in
current course of trade but in satisfaction of or as security for
a pre-existing claim for money, security, or the like, and (b) is
made under circumstances which under any statute or rule of law
apart from this Article would constitute the transaction a
fraudulent transfer or voidable preference.
(3) A creditor of a seller may treat a sale or an
identification of goods to a contract for sale as void if as against
the creditor retention of possession by the seller is fraudulent
under any statute or rule of law, but retention of possession of
the goods pursuant to a lease contract entered into by the seller
as lessee and the buyer as lessor in connection with the sale or
identification of the goods is not fraudulent if the buyer bought
for value and in good faith.
