KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Particular Lien
A particular lien is a right to retain possession of goods until payment is made for services performed in relation to those goods.
It arises where a person has expended labour or skill improving or preserving another person’s property.
The lien only applies to charges connected with the specific goods retained.
For example, a mechanic may keep a repaired vehicle until repair charges are paid.
Unlike a general lien, a particular lien does not extend to unrelated debts owed by the owner.
