OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Scope of power to assist in liquidation of member.

- Power of a credit union deposit insurance corporation to assist in liquidation of a member credit union, while otherwise general, does not extend to actions which are inconsistent with the credit union's primary purpose, protection of deposits and shares of credit union members. 1977 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 77-7.

Preferring unsecured creditor violates

§ 7-1-202(a). - Credit union deposit insurance corporation, acting as receiver or deputy receiver of a member credit union, cannot purchase an unsecured note with assets of a credit union since such purchase would give an unsecured creditor priority over depositors and other more senior claimants, in violation of former Code 1933, § 41A-813 (see now O.C.G.A. § 7-1-202(a)). 1977 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 77-7.
