United States Tenth Circuit
MORRIS v THE CIT GROUP/EQUIP. FIN., INC., 02-3072
The Kansas Supreme Court would likely adopt a substantial compliance standard for motor vehicle certificates of title, thus a bankruptcy trustee's claim to avoid unperfected security interests under 11 U.S.C. section 544(a) was not actionable.
