A lien, as a form of limited real right, provides protection to the lienor in case the claim has not been duly settled i.e. enables the lienor to secure the payment out of the lien value. Each lienee must obey to such settlement.The regulations concerning the lien are set in the Act on Ownership and Other Real Rights. A lien can be placed on material objects and rights. Although most of the articles of the Act on Ownership and Other Real Rights provides for a lien on material objects, it is possible to apply certain articles to subjective (non-material) rights also. Shares or stocks as subjective rights can also be subject to a lien. Different types of lien can be imposed on shares - a voluntary (consensual) lien, a mandatory lien enforced by court decision, a voluntary lien enforced by notarial or court decision and a lien enforced by the operation of the common law. A company can demand that the approval must be given for imposing a lien on its shares. Imposing a lien on company's shares does not mean the loss of management rights. The property rights from a share belong to the lienor, who is entitled to collect the divident and thus settle his claim.Shares can be interesting as objects of a lienbecause they have a specific market value which can be quite easily determined at any moment, especially if the company is listed at stock exchanges. In principle, a lienor does not bear entrepreneurial risk, which cannot be separated from the share, and therefore he has certain rights. The lienor can receive payment from a share on the basis of a court ruling or out of court.
