Fixtures - Rights Of Conditional Vendors -Test Of Material Injury To Freehold

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff sued to foreclose a mortgage on a hotel. Defendants were vendors of various pieces of hotel equipment, who apparently had filed title-retaining contracts subsequent to the recording of the realty mortgage. The court found that some of the equipment was not attached to the realty at all, and that the rest could be removed without material in jury to the "freehold." Held, that the title of the conditional vendors prevailed, under N. J. Comp. Stat. supp., secs. 182-93. Bank of America National Ass'n. v. LaReine Hotel Corp. (N. J. 1931) 156 Atl. 28.
