2019 District of Columbia Code
Title 50 - Motor and Non-Motor Vehicles and Traffic.
Chapter 15B - Uniform Certificate of Title for Vessels.
§ 50–1541.13. Effect of possession of certificate of title; judicial process.

Universal Citation: DC Code § 50–1541.13 (2019)

Possession of a certificate of title does not by itself provide a right to obtain possession of a vessel. Garnishment, attachment, levy, replevin, or other judicial process against the certificate of title is not effective to determine possessory rights to the vessel. This chapter does not prohibit enforcement under law of the District other than this chapter of a security interest in, levy on, or foreclosure of a statutory or common-law lien on a vessel. Absence of an indication of a statutory or common-law lien on a certificate of title does not invalidate the lien.

(Mar. 11, 2015, D.C. Law 20-215, § 14, 61 DCR 13083.)
