  Molders shall have a lien, dependent on possession, on all dies, molds, forms, or patterns in their hands belonging to a customer, for the balance due them from such customer for any manufacturing or fabrication work related to the property on which the molder claims the lien. Such liens shall attach upon the commencement of work by the molder and shall be subject to any prior perfected security interest in such property as of the commencement date. The molder may retain possession of the die, mold, form, or pattern until the charges are paid or until repossessed by a creditor with a prior perfected security interest.   Before enforcing such lien, notice in writing shall be given to the customer, whether delivered personally or sent by registered mail or statutory overnight delivery to the last known address of the customer. Such notice shall state that a lien is claimed for the damages set forth in or attached to such writing for manufacturing or fabrication work contracted or performed for the customer. Such notice shall also include a demand for payment.   A lien may not be enforced under this part if the customer, within the time period provided in subsection (d) of this Code section, notifies the molder that the products fail to meet an approved quality control plan, the products deviated from approved samples, or the products deviated from previously accepted parts and the customer returns the products within 60 days after the date on which the products are delivered to the customer.   If the molder has not been paid the amount due within 60 days after the notice has been received by the customer as provided in subsection (b) of this Code section and the products have not been returned to the molder within 60 days after the date on which the products are delivered to the customer because of a defective condition as provided in subsection (c) of this Code section, the molder may sell the die, mold, form, or pattern at a public auction.   In no event shall the amount of the lien established by this Code section exceed the contract price of services performed by the molder.     (Code 1981, §44-12-320, enacted by Ga.

Procedure for Exempting Town Realty Valued in Excess of Exemption; Order of Probate Court; Reinvestment of Sale Proceeds; Liability of Judge or Officer

  If an applicant seeks to have an exemption set apart out of real property located in town which exceeds in value the amount of the exemption which he claims and to which he is entitled to complete his legal exemption and such realty cannot be so divided as to give an exemption of that value, the judge of the probate court may pass an order that, should such property be thereafter sold by virtue of any order, judgment, or decree of any court in this state, so much of the proceeds of the sale as may be necessary to make up, when added to the other exempted property of the applicant, if any, the full amount of the exemption allowed by law shall be paid over to the judge of the probate court by the officer making the sale to be invested in property selected by the applicant by some proper person appointed by such judge, which property shall constitute the exemption of the applicant or a part thereof, as the case may be, after the order of the probate court and the deed of reinvestment have been recorded by the clerk of the superior court.   Should any ministerial officer of this state, upon being shown a certified copy of the order of the judge of the probate court provided for in subsection (a) of this Code section, fail to retain and pay over to such judge the proceeds as required or should any such judge receiving the proceeds fail to appoint the person required to have the proceeds invested and fail to turn over the proceeds to the person so appointed, such officer or judge and his sureties shall be liable to the applicant for the full amount of the money and 20 percent interest thereon for the period of time he wrongfully withholds the money or any part thereof.

 In case of a waiver and the levy of an execution, the debtor may select and set apart $300.00 worth of household and kitchen furniture and provisions as free from levy and sale. If, when such selection is made, the plaintiff in fi. fa. shall be of the opinion that said property is of greater value than $300.00, he may indemnify the levying officer and require him to proceed with the levy upon some part of the property or all if it be incapable of division. It shall then be the right of the debtor to make and deliver to the levying officer an affidavit stating substantially that the property selected is not of greater value than $300.00. The levy and affidavit shall be returned to the next term of the superior court of the county of the residence of the debtor and shall be tried as cases of illegality, the only issue being the value of the property selected. The jury may find generally for the defendant in fi. fa., in which case the levy shall be dismissed, or may find specifically what portion of the property is of the value of $300.00, which portion shall be exempted, and the balance shall be sold; provided, however, that the jury or other tribunal trying the issue made by the levy and affidavit may assess damages, not exceeding 25 percent of the value of the property levied upon, against the plaintiff in execution for any levy made not in good faith for the collection of the execution but for the purpose of harassing the debtor.
