Gershman Investment Corp. v. Duckett Creek Sewer District

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that amended statutes governing priority of public sewer district’s liens did not apply retrospectively to give the district’s lien priority over prior recorded deeds of trust and liens because lien priority is a substantive, vested right
• noting, however, that Section 249.255 did not apply retrospectively to give the sewer liens priority over deeds of trust recorded before the statute’s enactment
• “Whether a statute creates the power to file superior liens or changes the priority of liens under an existing statute, the vested rights of pre-enactment liens will be impaired.”
