Article 2330 of the French Civil Code

Moveable liens are granted by law.

They may be general or special.

The legal provisions governing them are to be interpreted strictly.

They give the right to be preferred to other creditors. Unless otherwise provided, they do not confer a resale right. They are carried over to the debtor’s price claim against the purchaser.
