🎰✨ WELCOME TO LIEN OR NO LIEN! ✨🎰
Today’s contestant thought adding a casual $20,000 to a mechanic’s lien meant the court would just shave a little off the top.
❌ BZZZZT! WRONG ANSWER! ❌
Under New York Lien Law § 39, when a court finds a mechanic’s lien was WILLFULLY EXAGGERATED, the ENTIRE lien is void. Not just the inflated portion.
💸 $100,000 → $0!
BUT WAIT! THERE’S MORE! 🎉
Under § 39-a, in qualifying lien-enforcement proceedings, the lienor may also be liable for our fabulous bonus prize package:
🏆 The amount of the exaggeration!
🏆 The homeowner’s reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred securing discharge of the lien!
🏆 Bond premiums or qualifying discharge-interest costs!
🎓 Some lessons are expensive.
Play stupid games, win statutory prizes. 🏆💸
