Two questions for all the LL/T minds to pontificate on: While a liquor license is considered intangible, and cannot be obtained through enforcement of a landlord's lien, if the tenant granted a security interest in the license in its lease with the landlord (and that security interest is properly perfected), can the landlord separately enforce that security interest in a foreclosure action? Assuming the answer to the above question is yes, if a properly perfected liquor license security interest is enforced through foreclosure, is the only option a sale at public auction with the proceeds going to the landlord [pursuant to 561.65(6), FS]? In other words, is there a way for the landlord to get the license so it can transfer it to a new tenant at the same space? Or then are we just back to the landlord's lien, which excepts liquor licenses. Thanks to all! Anne Q. Pollack, Esq. Shareholder Mechanik Nuccio Hearne & Wester, P.A. 305 S.
