Nu-Lite Electrical Wholesalers, LLC v. Alfred Palma Inc.

In this appeal, plaintiff, a supplier of materials, challenges the trial court’s judgment, granting the motion for summary judgment of two defendants, the owner and general contractor of a construction project, and dismissing plaintiffs claims against those defendants on the basis that plaintiff had not timely filed its material-man’s lien and, thus, had not preserved its claim or privilege against those defendants.
