Explain Lien and Its Types
Lien
Inlaw, a lien(UK/lin/orUS/lin/) is a form ofsecurity interestgranted over an item ofpropertyto secure
the payment of adebtor performance of some other obligation. The owner of the property, who grants the
lien, is referred to as the lienorand the person who has the benefit of the lien is referred to as the lienee.
There are a number of different types of liens such as general and specific. The less well-known types of liens
are an equitable lien, the Maritime right of this nature in the statutory form of this right. Perhaps the least
well-known is the preferable form of the right to keep the debtor's property. an equitable right of this nature
arises in situations where equity recognises that a creditor has a right to property of the debtor applied to
payment of the debt. Because it is a right of this nature, it only arises by implication of the law, not by express
agreement of the parties. Unlike possessory or common-law right, an equitable lien does not depend on
possession. examples of this type of right to include a beneficiary of the trust having equitable rights over
property bought by the trustee in breach of trust, or bought by another beneficiary who has profited from the
trustees breach of trust. Another example includes in the case of the dissolution of a partnership, a partner has
an equitable right over the partnership assets to make sure that the assets are used to pay the partnership debts
A purchaser of a house or band who is paid a deposit as an equitable the end of the property to the extent of
the purchase money paid. If a solicitor to suit a client, and has a court order for his or her legal costs and has
no chance of getting payment, the solicitor has an equitable right or an equitable charge over any of the clients
funds which is solicitor hold in reserve for costs.
In relation to a Maritime lien, this is a right which attaches to a ship and its cargo in connection with the
liability, such as the lien of seamen for their wages, or the right of a master of a ship for salary and
disbursements. This right also applies in favour of claimants regarding damaging collision between ships.
Possession is not necessary and this type of maritime right attaches regardless of any change of ownership
because the lien may be exercised by stopping the ship. Statutes may create liens codify existing common-law
right, and additional powers making statutory a right which may have arisen under contract. Examples of this
include the power of sale for reward in favour of the bailee, the civil aviation authority statutory power over
aircraft for amounts owing for service and facilities provided to airline operators, and innkeepers right to sell
the property of an absconding guest, the right of councils to sell property on the land of the ratepayer who has
not paid their rates, and taxes, or other fees owing to the state. Other examples include rural production whichis being financed on the security of crops, wool and stock.
Once it has been established that this type of rights over property exists in relation to a debtor, there are a
number of different considerations in relation to the enforcement of this right. a possessory right is not give
the power of sale unless there is an express agreement or statutory authority. There may be expenses involved
with enforcement is right. For example, if a car repair has exercised their rights, it has to look after the car but
it cannot charge for it. An equitable lien is enforced by order of a court. A maritime right of this nature is

executed against the ship itself. a statutory right of this nature usually creates a power of sale, because a
person holding a right has no power of sale common law. It is certainly wise to understand these types rights
as you may be a beneficiary of the right to hold a person's property if they owe you money.
General lien - a possessory lien by which the lien holder may retain any of the debtor's goods in the lienholder's possession until any debt due from the debtor, whether in connection with the retained goods or
otherwise, has been paid. Factors, insurance brokers, packers, stockbrokers and banker's liens are all usually
general liens.
