Northern Territory Consolidated Acts Northern Territory Consolidated Acts14A. Repairer's lien takes priority over registrable interests
(1) A repairer's lien on goods (whether or not registered) ranks in priority over any registrable interest in the goods whether or not the registrable interest is registered and whether the registrable interest arose before or after the repairer's lien arose.
(2) For subsection (1), a repairer's lien is a lien on goods in the possession of a person as security for payment for services or materials provided for the goods by that person in the ordinary course of business.
(3) However, for uncollected goods within the meaning of the Uncollected Goods Act , the repairer's lien is the relevant charge payable for the goods under section 6(2) of that Act.
