Primary text

In cases where the necessity for sale arises, such as when the item is feared to perish, if the pledgee gave unconditional authorization for sale, the debt obligation becomes attached to the price. This is because the sale is necessitated, making it analogous to a sale conducted after the debt term has expired.
