Eric, аn entrepreneur, purchаsed severаl acres оf scrub-cоvered land оf little apparent value. Shortly thereafter, an international conglomerate announced plans to develop a theme park on a tract immediately adjacent to Eric’s scrubland. The plan caused real estate values in the surrounding area to skyrocket. Rather than resell his land for a substantial profit, Eric decided to build a variety of tourist-oriented facilities on the land. To finance his project, Eric obtained a loan from Brilliant Bank in exchange for a $20,000 mortgage on his land. Brilliant Bank promptly recorded the mortgage. A few days later, Eric went to Cal’s Credit Union and took out a $15,000 mortgage on the land. Cal’s Credit Union knew of Brilliant Bank’s mortgage, and Cal’s Credit Union promptly recorded its own mortgage. A few weeks after that, Eric went back to Brilliant Bank and, after full disclosure of Cal’s Credit Union’s mortgage, obtained another advance of $15,000 from the original bank mortgage, increasing the amount borrowed against the mortgage from $20,000 to $35,000. Brilliant Bank promptly recorded the change. After spending much of these funds on retainers for architects, builders, and attorneys, Eric was upset to learn that the county council summarily rejected the theme park proposal. Eric made no more mortgage payments to Cal’s Credit Union, but continued to make payments to Brilliant Bank. Cal’s Credit Union brought a foreclosure action against Eric and included Brilliant Bank as a party. The value of the land in the area had plummeted, so the proceeds at the foreclosure sale were just $18,000 after attorneys’ fees and court costs.How should the proceeds be divided?
