(1) POSSESSORY LIEN. In this section, “possessory lien”
means an interest, other than a security interest or an agricultural
lien:
(a) Which 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;
(b) Which is created by statute or rule of law in favor of the
person; and
(c) Whose effectiveness depends on the person’s possession
of the goods.
(2) PRIORITY OF POSSESSORY LIEN. 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.
