47-9333. Priority of certain liens arising by
operation of law


A. In this section, "possessory lien" means an interest, other than a security
interest or an agricultural lien:


1. That secures payment or performance of an obligation for services or materials
furnished with respect to goods by a person in the ordinary course of the person's
business;


2. That is created by statute or rule of law in favor of the person; and


3. Whose effectiveness depends on the person's possession of the goods.


B. A possessory lien on goods has priority over a security interest in the goods
unless the lien is created by a statute that expressly provides otherwise.
