ITEMS OF INTEREST

ACCURACY AND CLARITY: THE IMPORTANCE OF A NAME IN UCC FINANCING STATEMENTS

The Nebraska Bankruptcy court recently reaffirmed the message that the accuracy of the debtor's name in a UCC financing statement is very important. In the Matter of EDM Corp., No. BKO 8-40788-TLS, slip op., 51 Bankr. Ct. Dec. 62, 2009 Bankr. LEXIS 202 (Bankr. D. Neb. Feb. 10, 2009). The Nebraska Bankruptcy Court found that the financing statement of the bank was seriously misleading and ineffective to perfect a security interest in collateral. The name of the debtor was EDM Corporation.
