Fowler v. Roxboro Homes, Inc.
Court of Appeals of Georgia
Decided January 16, 1959No. 37501PublishedCited by 6 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
Townsend, Judge.
1. Lien statutes, being in derogation of the common law, must be strictly construed. Cowart v. Reeves, 80 Ga. App. 161 (55 S. E. 2d 911). The materialman’s claim of lien filed for record must be in substance in the language of Code (Ann.) § 67-2002(2). Under this statute the statement that the lien is claimed “upon certain premises or real estate of Roxboro Homes, Inc.” is an allegation that Roxboro Homes, Inc., is the owner of the real estate for the improvement of which the labor and materials were furnished. Ford v. Wilson, 85 Ga. 109, 114 (11 S. E. 559).
