Supreme Court of Arkansas

Crafton, Tull, Sparks & Associates, Inc., Appellant v. Ruskin Heights, LLC; Metropolitan National Bank; William B…

January 15, 20152015 Ark. LEXIS 16

Summary

The court affirmed summary judgment granting Metropolitan priority over CTSA's engineer's lien. It held that the engineer's lien attached only when CTSA filed it of record and that the statutory relate-back provisions for labor, materials, and fixtures do not apply to engineer's liens. The court declined to consider legislative-intent arguments because the statutory language was clear.
