Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
If, while a security interest in goods is perfected by any method under the law of another
jurisdiction, this State issues a certificate of title that does not show that the goods are subject to the

security interest or contain a statement that they may be subject to security interests not shown on the
certificate: [PL 1999, c. 699, Pt. A, §2 (NEW); PL 1999, c. 699, Pt. A, §4 (AFF).]
(1). A buyer of the goods, other than a person in the business of selling goods of that kind, takes
free of the security interest if the buyer gives value and receives delivery of the goods after issuance of
the certificate and without knowledge of the security interest; and
[PL 1999, c. 699, Pt. A, §2 (NEW); PL 1999, c. 699, Pt. A, §4 (AFF).]
(2). The security interest is subordinate to a conflicting security interest in the goods that attaches,
and is perfected under section 9-1311, subsection (2), after issuance of the certificate and without the
conflicting secured party's knowledge of the security interest.
[PL 1999, c. 699, Pt. A, §2 (NEW); PL 1999, c. 699, Pt. A, §4 (AFF).]
