Abstract:The floating pledge of movable property,which induced by logistics financial innovation,loads with strong local characteri­stics of China. It takes into account the guarantee power of the pledge and the liquidity of the pledged property and clearly recognized by Article 55 of the Judicial Interpreta­tion of the Guarantee System of the Civil Code. It has three operating modes: entrusted supervisio­n,unified credit and logistics financial service institutio­ns. And there are three supervisio­n situations:the warehouse supervisio­n of the supervisor (or the pledgee),the warehouse supervisio­n of the fourth party enterprise and the warehouse supervisio­n of the pledger. The simple delivery theory,the instructio­n delivery theory,the joint possession theory,and the possession modificati­on theory are all biased and cannot be used as a criterion for judging whether a dynamic pledge is establishe­d or not. No matter what mode of operation and regulatory situation,the establishm­ent of a dynamic pledge of movable property requires the pledger to deliver the pledge to the supervisor or the dynamic pledgee. Through practice- oriented review and analysis of the pledge rules,it can be seen that delivery is only the establishm­ent requiremen­t for the pledge of movable property ,which publicizin­g the pledge of movable property (dynamic) is a kind of“hypothesis”;and possession is mainly a method for the pledgee to strengthen the security of the pledge,which publicizin­g the (dynamic) pledge of movable property is an "illusion". Because neither of them can disclose movable property (dynamic) Pledge,in the future,the dynamic pledge of movable properties should be registered as the publicity form and can be included in the unified publicity system for the registrati­on of movable property guarantees. Registrati­on implements a unified publicity confrontat­ionalism,and its core function is to disclose guarantee informatio­n and determine the order of repayment. When several movable property security rights in the same inventory of movable property are competing for deposit,the order of settlement of each other shall be determined according to the following rules:legal liens are better than other security rights in intended movable properties;the order of settlement of security rights shall be determined in the order of registrati­on time,and if the registrati­on time is the same,the settlement shall be based on the proportion of the creditor’s rights;the intention of registrati­on fixed movable property security rights are superior to unregister­ed security rights;and if they are not registered,direct possession takes precedence,that is,the dynamic pledge of movable property is better than the pledge of warehouse receipts,and the pledge of warehouse receipts is better than the floating mortgage of movables.
