Terms Used In North Dakota Code 41-09-38

  • Debtor: means a natural person whose name was provided in a financing statement record as an individual debtor or one of the types of persons listed in section 41-09-76. See North Dakota Code 41-10-01
  • Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
  • paper: means any flexible material upon which it is usual to write. See North Dakota Code 1-01-27

2.    For purposes of determining the rights of creditors of, and purchasers for value of an account or chattel paper from, a debtor that has sold an account or chattel paper, while the buyer’s security interest is unperfected, the debtor is deemed to have rights and title to the account or chattel paper identical to those the debtor sold.
