47-7602. Judicial process against goods
covered by negotiable document of title
Unless a document of title was originally issued on delivery of the goods by a
person that did not have power to dispose of them, a lien does not attach by virtue of
any judicial process to goods in the possession of a bailee for which a negotiable
document of title is outstanding unless possession or control of the document is first
surrendered to the bailee or the document's negotiation is enjoined. The bailee may not
be compelled to deliver the goods pursuant to process until possession or control of the
document is surrendered to the bailee or to the court. A purchaser of the document for
value without notice of the process or injunction takes free of the lien imposed by
judicial process.
