The appellants appealed a Master's order declaring their construction lien expired for being registered more than 45 days after the last date of work.
The appellants argued that section 11 of the Limitations Act, 2002 extended the time limit for registration due to ongoing mediation efforts.
The Divisional Court dismissed the appeal, holding that a construction lien is not a 'claim pursued in court proceedings' under the Limitations Act, and applying section 11 would conflict with the complete code and policy objectives of the Construction Lien Act.
