§ 28:9-402. Secured party not obligated on contract of debtor or in tort.

Current through October 23, 2012

The existence of a security interest, agricultural lien, or authority given to a debtor to dispose of or use collateral, without more, does not subject a secured party to liability in contract or tort for the debtor's acts or omissions.

                
                    var val = document.getElementById('citecontent').innerHTML;
                    art.dialog.defaults.title = window.location.href;
                    art.dialog.data('cite', val);
                    art.dialog.data('homeDemoPath', '/Scripts/plus/artDialog/');
                    art.dialog.open('/Scripts/plus/artDialog/citeiframe.html');

Former Section 9-317.

Nonliability of Secured Party

This section, like former Section 9-317, rejects theories on which a secured party might be held liable on a debtor's contracts or in tort merely because a security interest exists or because the debtor is entitled to dispose of or use collateral. This section expands former Section 9-317 to cover agricultural liens.
