Book Description

Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Mechanics Liens and General Contracting of the State of New York: With Forms The amount and value of the work which is performed annually by General Contractors and Builders within the State of New York is nowhere exceeded. Within recent years the opportunities offered them in both public and private work have been practically unlimited. In connection with the performance of such contracts controversies often arise which require an immediate solution, and the subject has given rise to an abundance of litigation. An attempt is here made to state systematically and concisely the principles of law applicable to such legal questions, as settled by the weight of judicial authority in this State.
