Section 382-A:9-333 Priority of Certain Liens Arising by Operation of Law. - New Hampshire Statutes

      (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.
