In many ways the construction industry is special, but in the ways of mechanic's liens the construction industry is actually unique. In no other industry does a merchant have the ability to impose a debt on a stranger. Only in the construction industry are contractors, material suppliers, equipment renters, and laborers given the right to impose a lien on real property without the owner's consent. The mechanic's lien right in the State of California is constitutional in origin. Because the Constitution is not self-executing, the legislature must enact a procedure for enforcing mechanic's lien rights. The Mechanic's Lien Law, as it is commonly known, is found in California Civil Code Sections 3082 to 3267. An owner or contractor may remove a mechanic's lien claim from the title by record...
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency won't put a $300,000 lien on the former Evansville Plating Works property if a worthwhile development is offered for the site.

A month and a half after the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation finalized a land-swap agreement with Baltimore to facilitate the city's West Side redevelopment project, the foundation finds itself in the crosshairs of legal action regarding one of the buildings.

In this action seeking foreclosure on a mortgage, the trial court did not err in granting plaintiffs motion for summary judgment because defendants lacked standing to challenge the assignments of mortgage when they are not parties to the assignments. Defendants furthermore could not maintain a quiet title action under R.C. 5303.01 against mortgagee when there is a valid lien on the property. The trial court also did not err in granting plaintiffs motion to strike attachments to defendants motion for summary judgment because defendants evidence did not comply with Civ.R. 30 and 56 requirements.
