Annotations

JUDICIAL DECISIONS Security title resembles lien with additional elements. - While a bill of sale to secure debt or a security deed or a conditional sale contract with reservation of title amounts to something in addition

to an ordinary mortgage lien, such a security title also embraces within itself the elements and characteristics of a lien. Waldroup v. State, 198 Ga. 144, 30 S.E.2d 896, 1944 Ga. LEXIS 350 (1944).
