Intermountain Electric, Inc. v. G-A-T Bros. Construction, Inc.

Court of Appeals of Washington

1Opinion of the Court

Sweeney, J. —

This is an action to dismiss a construction lien as invalid and frivolous. The superior court ruled that the lien was invalid because it was filed beyond the 90-day time limit required by the statute. The court also ruled that, because the lien was filed beyond the 90-day time limit, it was also frivolous. The subcontractor, Intermoun-tain Electric, Inc., then filed a second lien. We conclude that the first lien was indeed invalid, but not frivolous, and that the second lien, in the face of the court’s ruling, was both invalid and frivolous. We therefore affirm the court’s ruling…
