As it’s mid-January, I suppose that this blog post is a little late. However, I just came across the blog post published on the Harmon & Davies, P.C. blog titled: A Calorie Free Treat: Pennsylvania’s Mechanic’s Lien Law Year in Review 2010.
The blog post does an excellent job of summarizing three 2010 cases that construe Pennsylvania lien laws. Review on case law on Pennsylvania mechanic lien law is important for contractors and suppliers in the state, because of this reason well-explained by the folks at Harmon & Davies:
These opinions give us a pulse on how courts will interpret similar mechanic’s lien issues. Moreover, in light of the 2007 and 2009 amendments to the Mechanic’s Lien Law, construction industry insiders should stay abreast of how courts are interpreting the anti-waiver provisions of the amendments as this is a developing area of law.
If you do any work in Pennsylvania, I highly recommend reviewing this blog post, and taking some time to think about these three 2010 cases interpreting PA laws. It doesn’t appear that anything groundbreaking or law-changing happened in these cases, but it does give the reader a big picture understanding of how the PA lien laws will be enforced and read.
