Craft v. Stevenson Lumber Yard, Inc.
Supreme Court of New Jersey
Decided March 23, 2004PublishedCited by 18 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
The opinion of the Court was delivered by
LONG, Justice.
This appeal presents us with an opportunity to revisit the Construction Lien Law, (CLL or Act), N.J.S.A. 2A:44A-1 to -38, a statute that was enacted primarily to secure payment for contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers who furnish labor or materials used to enhance the value of the property of others. The case involves a “lien claim” (N.J.S.A. 2A:44A-9), which constitutes the value of the labor or materials provided, and a “lien fund” (N.J.S.A. 2A:44A-10, 23), which is the measure of what is recoverable pursuant to a lien.
