paramount

paramount
Above; upwards. Higher; superior; preeminent; of the highest rank or nature
@ paramount equity
An equitable right or claim which is prior, superior, or preferable to that with which it is compared
@ paramount title
In the law of real property, one which is superior to the title with which it is compared, in the sense that the former is the source or origin of the latter. It is, however, frequently used to denote a title which is simply better or stronger than another, or will prevail over it. But this use is scarcely correct, unless the superiority consists in the seniority of the title spoken of as "paramount."
