Law Revision Commission Comments to California Code of Civil Procedure ยง 873.160

In 1976, the California Law Revision Commission explained California Code of Civil Procedure ยง 873.160 as follows:

Section 873.160 is new. The contract itself may provide a means of payment, e.g., the commission of an auctioneer or a real estate broker from the proceeds of sale. In other cases, particularly where the property is divided, the third person will have lien rights. See Section 874.120 (lien for costs).
