Receiptholder's lien Clause Samples
A Receiptholder's lien is a legal right granted to the holder of a warehouse receipt or similar document, allowing them to retain possession of goods until payment or obligations related to those goods are fulfilled. In practice, this means that if a customer stores goods in a warehouse and receives a receipt, the warehouse operator can refuse to release the goods until storage fees or other charges are paid. This clause ensures that the receiptholder has security for payment, protecting their interests and reducing the risk of non-payment for services rendered.
Receiptholder's lien. Grain contained in a warehouse, including grain owned by the warehouseman, is subject to a first priority lien in favor of outstanding receiptholders storing, selling, or depositing grain in the warehouse. The lien created under this section shall be preferred to any lien or security interest in favor of any creditor of the warehouseman regardless of the time when the creditor's lien or security interest attached to the grain. Notice of the lien created under this section need not be filed in order to perfect the lien. The lien created by this section is discharged as to grain sold by the warehouseman to a buyer in the ordinary course of business. Such sale does not discharge the lien in favor of an individual receiptholder in the remaining grain in the warehouse. No person purchasing, selling, or storing grain in any public warehouse in this state shall use any measure for such grain other than the standard bushel, and no number of pounds shall be used or called a bushel other than the number of pounds provided by law as the standard weight of the kind of grain in question, except that during the months of October and November, not exceeding eighty-two pounds [37.19 kilograms], and during the months of December and January, not exceeding seventy-six pounds [34.47 kilograms], may be used as the standard weight per bushel of new ear corn. All public warehousemen shall purchase and store grain except dry edible beans in accordance with the official grades established from time to time by the secretary of agriculture of the United States, except as otherwise provided in rules and regulations applicable thereto adopted by federal officials pursuant to law. Public warehousemen shall post in a conspicuous place in the public warehousemen's warehouse the official grades so established and also any change that may be made from time to time. Warehousemen of dry edible beans shall purchase, store, and deliver beans in accordance with the policy of the warehousemen which must be filed with the commissioner and posted in a conspicuous place in the warehouse of the public warehousemen. Other grading standards may be used if mutually agreed to in writing by the warehouseman and the owner of the grain. However, the owner may demand the use of federal grading standards. The commissioner, after hearing, may prohibit the use of nonfederal grades.
