Question juridique clé
Whether a pledge shortfall certificate may be issued to a creditor whose claim is secured only by a pledged debt note after foreclosure of the real estate.
Solution extraite
No. A creditor holding only a pledge over a debt note cannot receive a pledge shortfall certificate after the pledged real estate is realized.
Motifs extraits
The pledgee of a debt note may assert the claim like a mortgage creditor in the foreclosure, but if the claim is secured only by such a pledge and is not covered by the realization proceeds, no pledge shortfall certificate may be issued.
