Nore Electric v. S & H Holdings

Summary

The court affirmed the district court’s determination that the contractors’ construction liens attached to the property and had priority over the purchaser’s fee interest. It held that the Nebraska Construction Lien Act concerns the geographic scope of lienable real estate, not whether the contracting owner still held title when the liens were recorded, and that the contracting owner’s interest in the property remains subject to qualifying future liens after conveyance. The court did not reach the contractors’ cross-appeal concerning the effectiveness of the notice of termination because the result was unchanged.
