Delivery of the diamonds to the carrier, consigned to the pledgee's agent, amounted to constructive delivery perfecting the pledge and giving the pledgee an immediate right to possession; therefore the pledgee had locus to sue for conversion and the carrier's lack of knowledge of the pledge was immaterial; leave to appeal was refused and the Court of Appeal's costs order was upheld as a discretionary, fact‑specific decision.
