s 40Worker’s lien

(1)

Subject to subsection (2), where a worker does work upon goods comprised in a hire-purchase agreement in such circumstances that, if the goods were the property of the hirer, the worker would be entitled to a lien on the goods for the value of his work, he shall be entitled to a lien notwithstanding that the goods are not the property of the hirer.

(2)

The lien is not enforceable against the owner if the hire-purchase agreement contains a provision prohibiting the creating of a lien by the hirer and the worker had notice of that provision before doing the work upon the goods.
