                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

LIEN FOR FARM PRODUCTS CONSIGNED TO COMMISSION MERCHANT (§ 43-62)

Whenever any farm products shall have been consigned to any commission merchant
for sale, and he shall have made sale thereof and become insolvent or die before
paying over the proceeds of the sale thereof to, or on account of, the consignor
or owner of the farm products, the claim of such consignor or owner, when
legally proved, shall be a lien on the estate of the commission merchant subject
only to such liens as were created on the estate and recorded prior to his
insolvency or death.
		The benefit of this section shall not accrue to any consignor or owner who,
without requesting payment, shall allow such proceeds to remain with such
commission merchant at interest, nor to any consignor or owner who, without
requesting payment, shall allow such proceeds to remain in the hands of such
commission merchant more than 30 days after becoming informed of such sale.
		Jurisdiction is hereby given to circuit courts to enforce the provisions of
this section.
