N.Y. Civil Practice Law & Rules § 5202: Judgment creditor's rights in personal property

§ 5202. Judgment creditor's rights in personal property. (a)

Execution creditor's rights. Where a judgment creditor has delivered an

execution to a sheriff, the judgment creditor's rights in a debt owed to

the judgment debtor or in an interest of the judgment debtor in personal

property, against which debt or property the judgment may be enforced,

are superior to the extent of the amount of the execution to the rights

of any transferee of the debt or property, except:

1. a transferee who acquired the debt or property for fair

consideration before it was levied upon; or

2. a transferee who acquired a debt or personal property not capable

of delivery for fair consideration after it was levied upon without

knowledge of the levy.

(b) Other judgment creditor's rights. Where a judgment creditor has

secured an order for delivery of, payment of, or appointment of a

receiver of, a debt owed to the judgment debtor or an interest of the

judgment debtor in personal property, the judgment creditor's rights in

the debt or property are superior to the rights of any transferee of the

debt or property, except a transferee who acquired the debt or property

for fair consideration and without notice of such order.
