Supreme Court of Oklahoma

Neil Acquisition, L.L.C., an Oklahoma Limited Liability Company, Appellant v. Wingrod Investment Corporation, A…

November 19, 199667 O.B.A.J. 3566

Summary

The court held that a recorded foreclosure decree does not establish priority for a later deficiency lien when the deficiency order itself was never recorded. Because Neil recorded its deficiency order and Wingrod did not, Neil held the superior judgment lien, and a nunc pro tunc order could not retroactively perfect Wingrod's lien or alter the statutory priority order. The court vacated the appellate decision, reversed the trial court, and remanded for entry of a consistent judgment.
