Goods Act 1958

Where a person having sold goods continues or is in possession of the goods or of the documents of title to the goods the delivery or transfer by that person or by a mercantile agent acting for him of the goods or documents of title under any sale pledge or other disposition thereof to any person receiving the same in good faith and without notice of the previous sale shall have the same effect as if the person making the delivery or transfer was expressly authorized by the owner of the goods to make the same. For the purposes of this and the next succeeding section the transfer of a document of title to goods may be by indorsement or where the document is by custom or by its express terms transferable by delivery or makes the goods deliverable to bearer then by delivery and a person shall be deemed to be in possession of goods or of the documents of title to goods where the goods or documents are in his actual custody or control or are held by any other person subject to his control or for him or on his behalf.
