However, this is a case in my opinion where a simple PCA would have been preferable. The holding injects unpredictability and uncertainty into title review and lien priority. Formerly, one could look at the filings in the Official Records and rely on them for purposes of determining facial validity of a Lien and date of attachment of the Lien (especially for liens of professional lienors that don’t relate back to an earlier NOC). Now, it seems to me, one has to account for the possibility that though the lien was recorded on x date, payment may have been tendered on y date (which is not part of the readily available Official Records) and the lien may actually attach several days or a week earlier than shown in the Official Records. Besides being the difference between an enforceable and an unenforceable lien, it also can impact lien priority and clear title under certain circumstances.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The advent of e-recording won’t in my experience reduce the likelihood of there being differences between the date of tender of payment and date of recording. Electronic filing queues in some counties result in e-recording several days after submission and tender of payment. The uncertainty for title insurers, lenders and purchasers will produce some new claims and keep us busy but will frustrate commercial actors looking for clarity and efficiency in real property transactions. One possible solution to the issue would be passage of legislation requiring the Clerk to reflect a recording date for a Lien equivalent to the date and time of receipt of tender of payment. Clerks seem to manage back dating litigation filings that are initially received on one date and for various reasons don’t get officially filed in the docket for another few days. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><div><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="96%" style='width:96.66%;border-collapse:collapse'><tr style='height:54.75pt'><td style='padding:0in 0in 0in 0in;height:54.75pt'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='color:#63AD6D'>Michael Gibbons</span></b><br><i><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Shareholder</span></i><span style='font-size:10.0pt'><br>215 N.
