Builders Liens and Construction Disputes Published Cases

  • Discharge of a builder's lien and Certificate of pending litigation on the basis that the lien was filed more than 45 days after an occupancy permit was granted, which was when substantial completion arose.
  • Successfully brought a summary trial dismissing the Plaintiff’s claims relating to the sale of an apartment building. The seller was not responsible for negligent construction, nor was he responsible for statements made about the roof, which could not be reasonably relied upon in circumstances where the contract indicated the building was being sold “as is where is” and the Plaintiff had obtained an inspection report outlining concerns about the condition of the building.
