46 U.S.C. § 31112 — Lien not recognized or created
submitted 20 years ago by Pub. L. 109-304 to r/title-46-SHIPPING · 24 words · no verdicts yet
This chapter does not create or recognize any lien against a public vessel of the United States. Courts should not read it that way. It simply does not have that effect.
This is a rule of interpretation, not a new right. Nothing in this chapter should be read as recognizing that a lien already exists against a public vessel of the United States*, and nothing in it creates a new lien either. In other words, this chapter cannot be used as a basis for claiming a lien on a government vessel*.
This chapter shall not be construed as recognizing the existence of or as creating a lien against a public vessel of the United States*.
