§3310. Financed leases
A. Except as specifically provided in this Chapter, financed leases are subject to Title IX of Book III of the Civil Code entitled "Lease." Financed leases entered into after Chapter 9 of the Louisiana Commercial Laws becomes effective are a type of secured transaction in favor of the lessor, and thus are additionally subject to R.S. 10:9-101, et seq.
B. Notwithstanding the fact that a financed lease creates a security interest under Chapter 9 of the Louisiana Commercial Laws, the lessor under a properly perfected financed lease shall retain full legal and equitable title and ownership in and to the leased equipment until such time as the lessee exercises his option or complies with his obligation to purchase the leased equipment from the lessor as provided under the lease agreement. The provisions of this Chapter shall further not affect present taxation of financed leases.
