Where the person purporting to transfer the ownership (the transferor) has no right or authority to transfer ownership of the goods, the transferee nevertheless acquires and the former owner loses ownership provided that:

(a): the requirements set out in VIII. — 2:101 (Requirements for the transfer of ownership in general) paragraphs (1)(a), (1)(b), (1)(d), (2) and (3) are fulfilled;
(b): the requirement of delivery or an equivalent to delivery as set out in VIII. — 2:101 (Requirements for the transfer of ownership in general) paragraph (1)(e) is fulfilled;
(c): the transferee acquires the goods for value; and
(d): the transferee neither knew nor could reasonably be expected to know that the transferor had no right or authority to transfer ownership of the goods at the time ownership would pass under VIII. — 2:101 (Requirements for the transfer of ownership in general). The facts from which it follows that the transferee could not reasonably be expected to know of the transferor's lack of right or authority have to be proved by the transferee.

Good faith acquisition in the sense of paragraph (1) does not take place with regard to stolen goods, unless the transferee acquired the goods from a transferor acting in the ordinary course of business. Good faith acquisition of stolen cultural objects in the sense of VIII. — 4:102 (Cultural objects) is impossible.

(3)

Where the transferee is already in possession of the goods, good faith acquisition will take place only if the transferee obtained possession from the transferor.
