The plaintiff contractor brought an action for unpaid invoices and to enforce a construction lien related to the restoration of a heritage stone church.
The defendants argued that payment was conditional on financing, the invoices were overstated, and the lien was registered out of time.
The court found no evidence of a financing condition and accepted the plaintiff's evidence regarding the work completed.
The court also determined that the project was abandoned on August 18, 2022, when the site was finally demobilized, making the October 13, 2022 lien registration timely.
The plaintiff was awarded $200,158.25, inclusive of interest.
