HRS §490:7-401
When a document of title is still valid despite mistakes
This section says that a document of title still creates the same duties for the issuer even if the document is not properly made, the issuer broke a law, the goods were owned by the bailee, or the issuer is not a warehouse but calls it a warehouse receipt.
The statute, as written — Irregularities in issue of receipt or bill or conduct of issuer
The obligations imposed by this article on an issuer apply to a document of title even if: (1) The document does not comply with the requirements of this article or of any other statute, rule, or regulation regarding its issuance, form, or content; (2) The issuer violated laws regulating the conduct of its business; (3) The goods covered by the document were owned by the bailee when the document was issued; or (4) The person issuing the document is not a warehouse but the document purports to be a warehouse receipt.
