Miss. Code Ann. § 75-9-333

Priority of certain liens arising by operation of law

Derived from former 1972 Code § 75-9-310 [Codes, 1942, § 41A:9-310; Laws, 1966, ch. 316, § 9-310, eff March 31, 1968] and enacted by Laws, 2001, ch. 495, § 1, eff from and after…

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.

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.
