San Diego White Truck Co. v. Swift

In San Diego White Truck Co. v. Swift (1979) 96 Cal.App.3d 88, the Court said, "The express language of the legislation reflects the intent of the Legislature to include all debtors regardless of when the debt was incurred." In that case, however, the abstract of judgment was filed after the effective date of section 690.31. While ruling that the debtor-homeowner could protect his home in that circumstance, we specifically excepted those debtors against whom a judgment was recorded before the effective date of the statute ( San Diego White Truck Co. v. Swift, supra, 96 Cal.App.3d 88, 92, 94).
