New York Court of Appeals

Robert H. Moore, Appellant v. George Mausert, Repondents

April 30, 187249 N.Y. 332

Summary

The Court of Appeals affirmed the General Term's reversal of the referee's judgment for the lienor, holding that the 1869 amendment to the mechanics' lien statute retained the original provisions, repealed the omitted town‑clerk filing provision, and required notice to be filed in the county clerk's office; consequently the lien filed in the town clerk's office was invalid.
