Supreme Court of Arkansas
Hammerhead Contracting & Development, LLC, and Brandon Holmes, Appellants v. Dale Ladd, Appellee — Wynne, J…
April 14, 2016489 S.W.3d 654
Summary
Justice Wynne dissented, arguing that the majority's interpretation of the direct-sale exception effectively eliminates the residential-contractor notice requirement. The dissent would construe the statute as requiring notice from a residential contractor unless a different potential lien claimant contracted directly with the property owner. Because appellants gave no notice and the record did not establish the exception, the dissent would affirm the circuit court. Goodson and Wood, JJ., joined the dissent.
