A security interest arising under Code Section 11-2-401 or 11-2-505, subsection (3) of Code Section 11-2-711, or subsection (5) of Code Section 11-2A-508 is subject to this article. However, until the debtor obtains possession of the goods:

  1. The security interest is enforceable, even if paragraph (3) of subsection (b) of Code Section 11-9-203 has not been satisfied;
  2. Filing is not required to perfect the security interest;
  3. The rights of the secured party after default by the debtor are governed by Article 2 or 2A of this title; and
  4. The security interest has priority over a conflicting security interest created by the debtor.

(Code 1981, §11-9-110, enacted by Ga. L. 2001, p. 362, § 1.)

JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Perfected security interest had priority over attempted reservation of title.

- Peanut growers' attempted reservation of title when the growers' delivered peanuts to a peanut company at a peanut broker's direction amounted to a security interest; however, the growers never perfected the growers' security interests. A cooperative bank's security interest in the peanuts was perfected as the grower had filed financing statements and the security interest had attached so that the bank's perfected security interest had priority over the growers' unperfected security interests.
