Ewart v. Johnson

The instant case reveals judgment entered against the defendant below, only one of whom, Evelyn Liss, appeals because against her a special judgment on a mechanics’ lien claim in the sum of $375.10 was entered.

Mrs. Liss contracted in writing with Johnson, co-defendant, to have him build a house and garage on property owned by her at Bradley Beach, New Jersey. The contract, dated March 30th, 1931, was filed the same day. The consideration to be paid for the construction was $10,000, with the usual provisions that the contractor was to be paid for any extra work not provided for in the contract.
