In re Southern Livestock Producers Ltd [1964] 1 WLR 24
1964
Pennycuick J
Contract, Animals
In the absence of special agreement the agister has no lien upon the livestock as he merely takes care of them and supplies them with food. Pennycuick J referred to the distinction between improvement and repair. An obligation to take care of pigs was held to be no more than maintaining them and insufficient to found a worker's lien.
