Ratio 2 Ratio
A prior registration of a lien creates a preference;
hence, the subsequent annotation of an adverse
claim cannot defeat the rights of the mortgagee, or
the purchaser at the auction sale whose rights were
derived from a prior mortgage validly registered. A
contrary rule will make a prior registration of a
mortgage or any lien nugatory or meaningless.
