§ 49-52. Pendency of action to foreclose lien on personalty not to be notice.
Sec. 49-52. Pendency of action to foreclose lien on personalty not to be notice. The pendency of an action for the foreclosure of any lien, other than a chattel mortgage, upon any personal estate is not notice of that action to any person who acquires an interest in that estate during the pendency of the action, unless the officer serving the process and complaint in the action leaves a true and attested copy of the process and complaint at the office of the town clerk of the town in which the lien is recorded at least twelve days before the return day of the process. A judgment or decree of foreclosure obtained in that action, upon any process and complaint of which a copy is not so left at the town clerk's office, does not affect the rights of any person acquiring an interest in the estate during the pendency of the action.
