ADIS Code - WLD
From 1.3.2006 the Security Interests in Goods Act 2005 replaced wool liens lodged under the Liens on Crops and Wool and Stock Mortgages Act 1898 (repealed) with a category of agricultural goods mortgages called wool mortgage. Documents affecting a wool lien registered under the repealed Liens on Crops and Wool and Stock Mortgages Act 1898 may still be registered and NSW LRS requirements for those documents will still apply.
A wool lien lasts for 1 year, ie the clip from sheep for one season, and lodgment of a discharge is rare. There is no prescribed form for a discharge.
See s17 Liens on Crops and Wool and Stock Mortgages Act 1898. The requirements for a discharge of a wool lien are similar to those for a discharge of mortgage
