    2. (2) which is created by statute or rule of law in favor of the person; and
    3. (3) whose effectiveness depends on the person’s possession of the goods.
  2. (b) Priority of possessory lien. — A possessory lien on goods has priority over a security interest in the goods unless the lien is created by a statute that expressly provides otherwise.
