Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Maryland

How the trailer was titled would have been determined by the loan documents he signed to finance the purchase. Usually, it would be titled in the name of the owner, but the lender would be listed on the title as a lienholder. That would protect its interests in case the owner defaults or tries to sell the vehicle, but would allow him to properly register it. He should discuss this with the lender. As for the defects, he ought to enlist the assistance of the lender in getting the contractor to correct them, especially if they are preventing him from proceeding with the operation of the business, which would generate the revenues necessary to make the loan payments. If they won't go to bat for him, he will have to file a lawsuit, which will be time consuming and expensive.
