Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
When any lien provided for by this chapter has attached to the property covered thereby, it 
is unlawful for any person to remove such property, or any part thereof, or cause the same to be 
removed from the land or premises where located at the time such lien attached or otherwise 
dispose of the same without the written consent of the holder of such lien. In the event such 
property, or some part thereof, is about to be removed or disposed of in violation of this section, 
the district court of the county where such property, or any part thereof, is located may upon the 
verified application of the holder of such lien enjoin all persons alleged in such application to be 
about to remove or dispose of such property, or some part thereof, from removing or disposing 
of the same. In the event such property, or any part thereof, has been removed or disposed of in 
violation of this section, the holder of such lien is entitled in any action to foreclose the same to 
the appointment of a receiver to take possession of such removed or disposed of property 
wherever the same may be located within this state; provided, however, that this section does 
not preclude the appointment of a receiver in actions brought to foreclose liens given by this 
chapter upon any equitable grounds warranting such appointment. This section does not apply 
to any lien claims which have been discharged by the filing of a bond as provided by section
