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.
