ALIENATION BY THE PLEDGOR OF THE THING PLEDGED

Art.  2097.  With  the  consent  of  the  pledgee,  the  thing pledged may be alienated by the pledgor or owner, subject to  the  pledge.  The  ownership  of  the  thing  pledged  is transmitted  to  the  vendee  or  transferee  as  soon  as  the pledgee  consents  to  the  alienation,  but  the  latter  shall continue in possession. (n)

> Remember  that  the  pledgor  retains  ownership  over  the thing pledged
> As soon as the pledgee gives his consent, the ownership of the  thing  pledged  is  transferred  to  the  vendee  subject  to the rights of the pledgee, namely—that the thing sold may be alienated to satisfy the obligation; and that the pledgee must  continue  in  possession  during  the  existence  of  the pledge
 

THE  PLEDGEE  IS  CONCERNED  WITH  THE  TRANSFER  OF ONWERSHIP  BECAUSE  AS  PLEDGEE,  HE  WOULD  WANT  TO LIMIT THE ENTANGLEMENTS.
