Kim v. Lee green
wash · 2001
1 sentence

2007Although Kim is not, as the Court of Appeals in this case stated, "controlling precedent," the holding certainly marked our disapproval of the notion that subrogation should be permitted "`even if the payor had actual knowledge of the intervening interest.'" Id. at 90, 31 P.3d 665 (quoting RESTATEMENT (THIRD) § 7.6 cmt. e, at 520). ¶ 43 Thus, I would hold that actual knowledge of a prior lien bars application of the doctrine of equitable subrogation.
