Baystate Drywall, Inc. v. Chicopee Savings Bank
Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court
Decided January 8, 1982PublishedCited by 23 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtWilkins, J.
We are concerned with whether the defendant, Chicopee Savings Bank (bank) held an enforceable security interest in a motor vehicle. The bank argues that its claim is superior to the claim of the plaintiff which sold the motor vehicle on execution to satisfy its judgment against the vehicle’s owner. A judge of the District Court ruled for the bank, and the plaintiff claimed a report. The Appellate Division of the District Courts dismissed the report on a ground we find to have been inappropriate. The case is before us on the plaintiff’s appeal. We rule in favor of the bank.
