Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Mechanic's Lien Act
(Court opinion corrected 2/9/15.) Plaintiff engineering company filed civil complaint seeking to foreclose on mechanic's lien against multiple defendants, including bank. Court properly invalidated lien and granted summary judgment for bank, as Plaintiff failed to establish that its work improved the property at issue, under Mechanic's Lien Act. No case law has held that recording of a final plat as result of an engineering company's work was found to enhance value of land. (WRIGHT, concurring; LYTTON, dissenting.)
