382-A:9-333 Priority of Certain Liens Arising by Operation of Law. –
       (a) "Possessory lien.'' In this section, "possessory lien'' means an interest, other than a security interest or an agricultural lien:
          (1) 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;
          (2) which 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) 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.
