Posted: Mon Feb 01, 2010 5:13 pm
Does this mean then that this court would have preferred that a list of all
the liens in the case be filed with the emergency petition?

How is that possible? How do you list a lien on the petition anyway? And, if this was filed electronically, unless it was an emergency filing with schedules filed later--not indicated in the decision--how can you file the petition separately from the schedules?

Sec. 544(a)(3)'s "strong-arm power" as a bona fide purchaser for value to avoid the lien. Equitable subrogation did not apply because the creditor whose debt the lienholder paid off itself had no lien, having discharged it by a recorded deed of reconveyance; enforcement of the right to subrogation would injure a party holding legal title and an equal equity, the trustee; and California courts give priority to a bona fide purchaser over one claiming equitable subrogation.
