§ 307. § 7—307.

• Lien of carrier (a) A carrier has a lien on the goods covered by a bill of lading or on the proceeds thereof
  in its possession for charges after the date of the carrier’s receipt of the goods
  for storage or transportation, including demurrage and terminal charges, and for expenses
  necessary for preservation of the goods incident to their transportation or reasonably
  incurred in their sale pursuant to law. However, against a purchaser for value of
  a negotiable bill of lading, a carrier’s lien is limited to charges stated in the
  bill or the applicable tariffs or, if no charges are stated, a reasonable charge. (b) A lien for charges and expenses under subsection (a) of this section on goods that
  the carrier was required by law to receive for transportation is effective against
  the consignor or any person entitled to the goods unless the carrier had notice that
  the consignor lacked authority to subject the goods to those charges and expenses.
  Any other lien under subsection (a) of this section is effective against the consignor
  and any person that permitted the bailor to have control or possession of the goods
  unless the carrier had notice that the bailor lacked authority. (c) A carrier loses its lien on any goods that it voluntarily delivers or unjustifiably
  refuses to deliver. (Added 2015, No. 51, § B.3, eff. June 3, 2015.)
