COHEN, Justice,
concurring.
I agree that our statutes do not authorize the trial court’s order. This is unfortunate. These statutes do not give this judgment creditor the aid he needs, while they protect two parties who do not need protec*959tion — the issuing corporation and any potential bona fide purchaser.
Detox argues that if the trial court’s order were upheld, it might be liable to a bona fide purchaser as a result of complying with the order. It need have no fear. The likelihood that it would be held liable for complying with a court order that it resisted in good faith is, to say the least, remote, and a bona fide purchaser presumably would have a title superior to that of a purchaser at a foreclosure sale.
While these considerations may make it desirable to afford Gullett his relief, that is different from having a statute that does so. Instead, we have two statutes that regulate this area and do not do so. We are bound to follow them, even though it requires us to set aside an order that seems just and prudent on the record before us.
