A Treatise on the Law of Mechanics' Liens and Building Contracts
With Annotated Forms (Classic Reprint)
Description:... Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Mechanics' Liens and Building Contracts: With Annotated Forms Reconciliation of conflict. An effort has been made to reconcile apparently conflicting decisions, and to show the present value of authorities, as well as divergences from standard doctrine. Where confusion has appeared, it has been the endeavor to indicate the proper course, at all times being careful to distinguish the court's statement from the writer's own opinion. The true rulings announced by the courts are set forth, irrespective of the formal statements of syllabi.
The Table of Correlated Sections of the Statutes of the different states prefixed will be found to be extremely useful to those desiring to compare the statutes and decisions of their own state with those of other states, cross-references being made to the text where the subject is discussed. This table will also be found valuable in tracing authorities decided hereafter.
Part III, consisting of Forms, contains rather those which involve more complicated facts than those which are simple, this being considered more helpful to the practitioner. This part is thoroughly annotated, and cross-references are made therein to the subject-matter in the text where discussed. References are also made to other forms to be found in the reports themselves, thus giving the reader ready access to numerous forms.
The Index has been prepared with care, with the view of rendering it most serviceable to all users of the treatise, and the whole work revised, corrected, brought down to date, and completed by James M. Kerr.
