Okla. Stat. tit. 12A, § 12A-7-308: Enforcement of carrier's lien

Enforcement of Carrier's Lien.

(a) A carrier's lien on goods may be enforced by public or

private sale of the goods, in bulk or in packages, at any time or

place and on any terms that are commercially reasonable, after

notifying all persons known to claim an interest in the goods. The

notification must include a statement of the amount due, the nature

of the proposed sale, and the time and place of any public sale.

The fact that a better price could have been obtained by a sale at a

different time or in a different method from that selected by the

carrier is not of itself sufficient to establish that the sale was

not made in a commercially reasonable manner. The carrier sells

goods in a commercially reasonable manner if the carrier sells the

goods in the usual manner in any recognized market therefor, sells

at the price current in that market at the time of the sale, or

otherwise sells in conformity with commercially reasonable practices

among dealers in the type of goods sold. A sale of more goods than

apparently necessary to be offered to ensure satisfaction of the

obligation is not commercially reasonable, except in cases covered

by the preceding sentence.

(b) Before any sale pursuant to this section, any person

claiming a right in the goods may pay the amount necessary to

satisfy the lien and the reasonable expenses incurred in complying

with this section. In that event, the goods may not be sold but

must be retained by the carrier, subject to the terms of the bill of

lading and this article.

(c) A carrier may buy at any public sale pursuant to this

section.

(d) A purchaser in good faith of goods sold to enforce a

carrier's lien takes the goods free of any rights of persons against

which the lien was valid, despite the carrier’s noncompliance with

this section.

(e) A carrier may satisfy its lien from the proceeds of any

sale pursuant to this section but shall hold the balance, if any,

for delivery on demand to any person to which the carrier would have

been bound to deliver the goods.

(f) The rights provided by this section are in addition to all

other rights allowed by law to a creditor against a debtor.

(g) A carrier's lien may be enforced pursuant to either

subsection (a) of this section or the procedure set forth in

subsection (b) of Section 7-210 of this title.

(h) A carrier is liable for damages caused by failure to comply

with the requirements for sale under this section and, in case of

willful violation, is liable for conversion.
