  2. Article 71. Recovery of Chattel

§ 7109. Unique chattel. (a) Injunction, temporary restraining order.

Where the chattel is unique, the court may grant a preliminary

injunction or temporary restraining order that the chattel shall not be

removed from the state, transferred, sold, pledged, assigned or

otherwise disposed of until the further order of the court.

(b) Judgment enforceable by contempt. Where the chattel is unique, the

court, in addition to granting a judgment under section 7108, may direct

that a party in possession deliver the chattel to the party entitled to

possession. Disobedience of a judgment or order so directing may be

punished as a contempt of court. If a party accepts the value of the

chattel awarded to him by the judgment, he shall have no claim to the

chattel.
