Legal Question in Business Law in California

Was the security real property, personal property (called a chattel mortgage) or mixed collateral (both real and personal property)?

A small-claims judge is pretty much limited to money judgments. They probably lack jurisdiction to specify how a judgment for $7,500 shall be paid. The losing defendant could reach into his billfold and pull out 75 $100 bills, for example (although obviously unlikely). Code of Civil Procedure sections 116.810 et seq. deal with satisfaction and enforcement of small-claims judgments, which is done pretty much the same as superior court judgments, and most of the drudgery is left to the plaintiff, except the plaintiff can recover its costs of collection under CCP 116.820(c).
