collateral security

collateral security
An additional security, in the form of an article of value or an evidence of indebtedness, for the payment of a debt, or the performance of an obligation, whether the debt or obligation be antecedent or newly created, designed to increase the means of the creditor or obligee to realize upon the debt or obligation, and given to the creditor or obligee to be held by him as subsidiary to the principal debt or obligation and as running parallel with such debt or obligation, so that when it is collected by the creditor or obligee, the proceeds are to go to the credit of the principal debt or obligation, or, if the principal debt or obligation be paid, satisfied, or performed without realizing upon the collateral, the latter shall be returned to the debtor or obligor. Seanor & Bierer v McLaughlin, 165 P 150, 30 A 717.
