§ 6A-9-709 - Priority.

SECTION 6A-9-709

   § 6A-9-709  Priority. – (a) Law governing priority. This chapter determines the priority of conflicting claims to collateral. However, if the relative priorities of the claims were established before this chapter takes effect, former chapter 9 of this title determines priority.

   (b) Priority if security interest becomes enforceable under § 6A-9-203. For purposes of § 6A-9-322(a), the priority of a security interest that becomes enforceable under § 6A-9-203 of this chapter dates from the time this chapter takes effect if the security interest is perfected under this chapter by the filing of a financing statement before this chapter takes effect which would not have been effective to perfect the security interest under former chapter 9 of this title. This subsection does not apply to conflicting security interests each of which is perfected by the filing of such a financing statement.
