The Artisan Lienholder Vs. The Perfected Security Interest, Donald Elardo

Cleveland State Law Review

An artisan who furnishes labor and materials for the repair of chattel property has a valid common law lien upon such property for the reasonable value of his labor and materials while he retains possession of the property. A common law lien has been defined as a right extended to a person to retain that which is in his possession belonging to another, until the demand or charge of the person in possession is paid or satisfied.
