§ Sec­tion 475 b HGB Warehouse kee­per’s lien

Accor­ding to § 475 b HGB, the warehouse kee­per has a legal pledge of rights to the goods due to the sto­rage cos­ts. The pre­re­qui­si­te for this is that he is in pos­ses­si­on of the goods, in par­ti­cu­lar that he can dis­po­se of them by means of bills of lading, con­sign­ment bills or warehouse receipts (see Marx/Arens Der Auk­tio­na­tor, 2004, p. 274).
