All information on a UCC-1 is public information. Many states offer UCC searches online for a small fee. Before a lender makes a secured loan in which it intends to file a UCC-1 form, it does a lien search to make sure there are no other UCC-1s filed against the piece of collateral being financed.
The mandate makes the judgment of the court final, taxes costs related to the appeal (if required), and releases the courtâs jurisdiction of the case. The mandate will normally issue following the decision of the case or the denial of rehearing, whichever is later. 2
Initially, it is up to the district court to determine the scope of the mandate, and the parties may want, or be asked, to present their views on what the district court may consider on remand. The ultimate determination, however, belongs to the appellate courtâthe court that issued the mandate. See Engel Indus.
