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.
