§ 4-2.5-306. Priority of certain liens arising by operation of law.
If a person in the ordinary course of his [or her] business furnishes services or materials with respect to goods subject to a lease contract, a lien upon those goods in the possession of that person given by statute or rule of law for those materials or services takes priority over any interest arising under the lease contract or this article of the party to the lease contract at whose instance the services or materials were furnished, but does not take priority over any such interest of the other party to the lease contract unless the lien is created by statute and the statute provides otherwise or unless the lien is created by rule of law and the rule of law provides otherwise.

Editor's note - Colorado legislative change: After the word "interest", Colorado deleted the words "of the lessor or lessee under the lease contract or this article" and substituted the words "arising under the lease contract or this article of the party to the lease contract at whose instance the services or materials were furnished, but does not take priority over any such interest of the other party to the lease contract".
