Court of Appeals defines the scope of the relation-back doctrine in light of intervening conveyances

App. Dec. 22, 2011), the Court of Appeals had to address the priorities when mechanics' liens and multiple deed-of-trust foreclosures collide.  While reaffirming and compiling several previously-established propositions of law in this area, the Court also addressed some novel issues.
