Special Attachment Rules I: Retention of Title and Consignments: Discussions in Secured Transactions

This podcast will focus on two types of transactions that might not satisfy § 9-203’s elements but nevertheless create a security interest. These transactions create a security interest due to the form of the transaction: retention of title and consignments. This is the first of two podcasts on this topic; see also Special Attachment Rules II: Sales of Accounts, Chattel Paper, Promissory Notes, and Payment Intangibles.
