2021 Louisiana Laws|Revised Statutes|Title 9 - Civil Code-Ancillaries|§4512. Notice of privilege

RS 4512 - Notice of privilege A.(1) Any person claiming a privilege on an aircraft under R.S. 9:4511 may record the privilege on the aircraft by filing a notice or a claim with the Federal Aviation Administration - Aircraft Registry not later than the ninetieth day after the labor, services, fuel, and materials were furnished. (2) Any privilege claimed on an aircraft under R.S. 9:4511 is enforceable when a verified notice of privilege has been recorded with the recorder of mortgages for the parish where the aircraft was located at the time of labor, services, fuel, or materials were last furnished. (3) The notice shall state the names of the person asserting the privilege, the name of the owner of the aircraft, a description of the aircraft upon which the person is asserting the privilege, the amount expended for labor, services, fuel, or material for which the privilege is being claimed, and the date the repairs or changes were furnished. (4) The privilege may be enforced by writ of sequestration, without the necessity of the creditor furnishing security therefor, if the debtor is first given fifteen days written notice by registered mail. This privilege is inferior to a vendor's privilege, a chattel mortgage, or security interest recorded prior to the commencement of work or services on the aircraft or the provision of fuel and materials in connection therewith, or against the bona fide purchaser to whom possession has been delivered and who has paid the purchase price without previous notice of the existence of the privilege. Recordation of the notice of privilege in any manner provided for in this Section shall constitute the requisite notice to prospective purchasers of the aircraft. B. In addition to the remedy provided in this Section, when the aircraft remains in the possession of the privilege holder, and the debt due thereon remains unpaid for more than ninety days from the date on which the last labor was performed or last fuel or material was furnished, the holder of such privilege may sell such property at private sale and without appraisement, after advertising such property for ten days as provided by law in case of judicial sale of movables. From the proceeds of any such sale, the amount of the debts secured by such privilege shall be satisfied, including all reasonable charges for registered notices, advertisement or charges for appraisers and cost of the sale, including reasonable attorney fees incurred by the privilege holder in connection therewith; and the balance, if any, shall be held for the benefit of the owner for a period of six months, after which time, if it remains unclaimed, it shall be paid to the clerk of court for the parish in which the sale took place. C. The privilege holder may retain possession of the aircraft subject to the privilege until the amount due is paid in full. D. Upon payment of the debt owed to the privilege holder by or on behalf of the registered owner of the aircraft or other property subject to the privilege, or by the customer, the privilege holder shall cause to be filed with the Federal Aviation Administration-Aircraft Registry a notice of cancellation of the privilege. The filing of this notice of cancellation shall terminate all interest of the privilege holder. The privilege holder shall not be foreclosed from asserting an additional privilege against the aircraft for the payment of amounts owed for work or services performed, or fuel materials furnished to the aircraft after the cancellation.
