Fatland v. Wentworth & Irwin, Inc.

This suit was brought by the plaintiff to enforce a statutory lien for labor and supplies furnished by plaintiff to Loyd S. Angelí in the repair of a truck which he had purchased from Wentworth & Irwin, Inc., under a conditional sales contract. Angelí failed to answer the complaint and a personal judgment was taken against him for the amounts prayed for in the complaint. Wentworth & Irwin, Inc., separately answered, setting up as its sole defense its title to the truck and that Angelí had paid plaintiff for the labor and supplies furnished in its repair.
