Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Mechanics Lien Act
(Court opinion corrected 12/23/14.) In mechanic's lien litigation between Plaintiff, a general contractor company, and subcontractor, court properly found that Plaintiff failed to prove its cost to repair subcontractor's alleged defective workmanship, as Plaintiff failed to provide court with reasonable basis for computing damages. Court found Plaintiff's representative to be not credible, and he failed to keep records of Plaintiff's damages. Court properly found that Plaintiff was not entitled to recover on its lien due to Plaintiff’s failure to comply with Section 5 of Mechanics' Lien Act. (BURKE and SPENCE, concurring.)
