varastosyyämäusoikeys

Varastosyyämäusoikeus is a Finnish legal term that translates to the right of lien on stored goods. It refers to the right of a warehouse keeper to retain possession of goods stored with them until the storage fees and any other associated costs are paid. This right is established by law to protect warehouse keepers against non-payment by their customers.

The right of lien typically arises when goods are delivered to a warehouse keeper for storage under a contract. The warehouse keeper has a legal claim over these goods for the amount owed to them for their services. This means that the goods cannot be reclaimed by the owner or their representative until the outstanding debt is settled. The warehouse keeper’s claim is often prioritized over other creditors, giving them a strong position in recovering their dues.

However, this right is not absolute and can be lost or modified under certain circumstances. For instance, if the warehouse keeper voluntarily relinquishes possession of the goods without payment, the lien is usually extinguished. Specific legal provisions govern the extent and limitations of varastosyyämäusoikeus, often detailed in commercial codes or specific legislation related to warehousing and storage. The enforcement of this right might involve selling the stored goods to cover the unpaid charges, following prescribed legal procedures.
