Key legal question
Whether the bank validly acquired a pledge on bearer shares allegedly delivered by a non-owner.
Extracted holding
A pledge can arise only if the pledgor had authority to dispose of the shares; if not, the pledgee can rely on good faith under Art. 884(2) CC.
Extracted reasoning
Arts. 899 and 901 CC govern the pledge and delivery of bearer shares, but the disposition contract is valid only if the disposer had power to dispose. Good faith becomes relevant only if that power was absent.
