Book Description
Excerpt from Treatise on the Mechanic's Lien Law, of California: Passed March 30, 1868; With an Appendix, Containing the Various Forms Required Under the Act, Together With a Copy of the Act, and an Ample Index The law passed at the last session of our Legislature on the subject of Mechanics' Lion has a most important effect as well upon the rights of mechanics, laborers, and persons furnishing materials for the construction and repairs of buildings and other superstructures, as upon the rights of those owning and making improvements on real estate. It has also an important effect on the rights of capitalists and loan societies lending money on mortgage. It is very clear, that without proper precautions, a real estate owner may, through this Act, be compelled to pay a much larger sum for improvements than he has contracted to pay, and may even be made personally responsible on demands for which he never contemplated a personal liability, while those having mortgages or other equitable claims upon the land may be seriously affected in their rights. The Act is a very crude and inconsistent piece of legislation, and requires many amendments for the benefit as well of the mechanic as the owner of real estate. Still, it will remain the law of the land till the year 1870, as no legislation is likely to be had on it till that time. It was thought by the author of this brief treatise, that in the meantime a work of this character, with the forms given in the appendix, might be useful to the community, and that when amendments are made by the next Legislature a second edition can be issued. Most of the States have Mechanics' Lien Laws, and decisions have been rendered under them in the Courts of the different States where they exist.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1869 edition. Excerpt: ...risk of the employer, whose real estate, under the law, is bound for the work of the contractor and master-mechanic, by adding, also, a Lien for the work of the laborer, with whom neither the owner nor contractor has contracted, and who is unknown to them, would interfere with the growth of the country, by interposing obstacles to the march of meritorious enterprise, and thus actually injure the workman himself."

This reasoning cannot be applied to the subcontractor, who does a large share, perhaps all of the work. A SUB-CONTRACTOR may be defined as any one who, under contract, express or implied, performs all, or a certain part of the principal contract for another. His claim is for work, for which the original contractor would have had a Lien, had he performed it. His rights are secured in every state, except in Vermont, Illinois, (j) Iowa, and Michigan. In Connecticut, also, the sub-contractor has no Lien for his labor, nor the materialman for his materials, unless the owner or employer consents. (772) That the Mechanics' Lien law gives a Lien in favor of a sub-contractor at all, is contrary to the rule as to other Liens, for even a Vendor's Lien cannot be enforced in the name of an assignee. On what principle then, is it founded? It must be on a contract (h) Jobson vs. Boden, 8 Penn. Slate R. 465. In a Pennsylvania case, a master-bricklayer filed a claim, which was opposed on the ground that...
