Albrecht v. C. C. Foster Lumber Co.
Indiana Supreme Court
From the Marion Superior Court.
1Opinion of the CourtElliott, J.
— The appellee’s cause of action is based upon the general theory that it is entitled to enforce a lien against the real estate of the appellant described in the complaint, and it prays a decree of foreclosure.
The point made against the complaint that the notice shows that the appellee claimed a lien for a greater amount than was owing to it, is without substantial merit. A mistake of that character, which has not operated to the prejudice of any one, will not defeat a lien. Kiel v. Carll, 51 Conn. 440; Smith v. Norris, 120 Mass. 58; Harrington v. Dollman, 64 Ind. 255.
