Annotated Code of Maryland
(2000 Replacement Volume and 2001 Supplement)
SECTION 1. BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF
MARYLAND, That the Laws of Maryland read as follows:
Article - Commercial Law
7-308.
(1) [A] EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN § 14-2902 OF THIS ARTICLE, A carrier's lien
may be enforced by public or private sale of the goods, in bloc or in parcels, at any
time or place and on any terms which are commercially reasonable, after notifying all
persons known to claim an interest in the goods. Such notification must include a
statement of the amount due, the nature of the proposed sale and the time and place
of any public sale. The fact that a better price could have been obtained by a sale at a
different time or in a different method from that selected by the carrier is not of itself
sufficient to establish that the sale was not made in a commercially reasonable
manner. If the carrier either sells the goods in the usual manner in any recognized
market therefor or if he sells at the price current in such market at the time of his
sale or if he has otherwise sold in conformity with commercially reasonable practices
among dealers in the type of goods sold he has sold in a commercially reasonable
manner. A sale of more goods than apparently necessary to be offered to ensure
satisfaction of the obligation is not commercially reasonable except in cases covered
by the preceding sentence.
13-301.
Unfair or deceptive trade practices include any:
(14) Violation of a provision of:
(i) This title;
