Abstract:
The 1987 NC General Assembly enacted a statute to allow a trustee to cancel a deed of trust by recording a notice of satisfaction. This bulletin attempts to answer some of the questions registers of deeds continue to have regarding this method of cancellation. Campbell discusses three topics in the Bulletin: execution of a notice of satisfaction by the trustee or mortgagee, the necessary elements of a notice of satisfaction, and the register's entry of satisfaction when the notice is recorded.

Abstract:
A review of North Carolina recording statutes supports the reasoning of cases in which changes in a recorded instrument are made by preparing and recording a correction deed. An attempt to alter the original instrument results in a new instrument that the register of deeds should not record unless it is re-executed and re-acknowledged.

Abstract:
This bulletin discusses two U.S. Supreme Court cases in which it strongly reaffirmed two major holdings of a 1978 decision: first, waste materials are articles of commerce within the scope of the Constitution's commerce clause; and second, a state or local government may not exclude waste generated in another state from privately owned disposal facilities by imposing restrictions or discriminatory taxes on out-of-unit waste.

Abstract:
In solid waste management flow-control means a local government directing where solid waste generated within its jurisdiction is to be transported or disposed of. The local government wants to ensure that the waste is disposed of in an environmentally sound manner. Private solid waste management companies oppose this as they consider the restrictions as anti-competitive and harmful to their business interests. In the case discussed here the Court held that flow-control ordinances do violate the commerce clause of the US Constitution.

Abstract:
This bulletin informs registers of deeds of an indexing problem raised by Mr. Lynn Nesbit, Iredell County Register of Deeds, and Mr. William P. Pope, Statesville attorney. The problem concerns the indexing of instruments that subordinate the lien of a previously recorded deed of trust, commonly called subordination agreements. It arises because statutes do not direct how such instruments are to be indexed. Using a hypothetical example, the author recommends a solution.

Abstract:
Although the state's General Statute 14-399 makes littering a crime, control of this unlawful disposal of solid waste is difficult because litterbugs are rarely caught and because lawmen and prosecutors do not view it as a high priority crime.
