The applicant sought to discharge a claim for lien registered by the respondent on September 11, 2025, in the amount of $63,740 for roofing work.
The respondent claimed the lien was for work performed on August 16, 2025, to correct deficiencies and secure the manufacturer's warranty.
The court found that the cost of correction was approximately $580, which fell below the threshold for deemed completion under the Construction Act (1% of contract price or $5,000, whichever is less).
Since the correction costs were only $580 against a contract price of $198,000 (1% threshold of $1,980), the contract was deemed completed and the lien was out of time.
The claim for lien was discharged.
