Subject to this or any other law, notwithstanding that the property in the goods may have passed to the buyer, the unpaid seller of goods, as such, has by implication of law —
a lien on the goods or right to retain them for the price while he is in possession of them;
in case of the insolvency of the buyer, a right of stopping the goods in transitu after he has parted with the possession of them; and
a right of resale as limited by this Law.
Where the property in goods has not passed to the buyer, the unpaid seller has, in addition to his other remedies, a right of withholding delivery similar to and coextensive with his rights of lien and stoppage in transitu where the property has passed to the buyer.
