The applicant storage company sought to enforce a possessory lien against storage containers owned by the respondent, which had been deposited by a third-party logistics subcontractor without the respondent's knowledge.
The court found that while a possessory lien arose upon receipt of the containers, the applicant's failure to provide the mandatory 60-day statutory notice to the owner under the Repair and Storage Liens Act limited its lien to the first 60 days of storage fees.
The applicant's alternative claims for unjust enrichment and quantum meruit were dismissed because the respondent did not request or freely accept the storage services.
