[CLC-Discussion] Morning brain exercise.

[Gibbons, Michael]

  Tim,
            I don't think so.  Fla. Stat. 713.10 and the Claim of Lien statutory form contemplates that the lienor will list the person it has a contract with and the amount of the contract and net unpaid. In your scenario, you would need to list two contracting parties, two first dates of work, two last dates of work,  two contract values and two net amounts unpaid by two different upstream subcontractors.  I don't think that's feasible or proper under 713.    Interesting question though.

Group,

Here is one for you.  I've been doing this 27 years and have never seen this one.

Materialman supplies materials to Sub-subcontractor A on Project.  Sends NTO,timely, etc.
Materialman also supplies materials to Subcontractor B on Project.  A is not a sub to B.  Materialman sends NTO timely, etc.

Materialman is unpaid by Sub-Subcontractor A  and needs to record a lien.  Problem is, 90 days has run.
Materialman is also owed money from Subcontractor B,  and 90 days has not run.

A and B are working under the same direct contractor on the same project for the same owner.

Can Materialman record a lien and include the debt owed by Sub-Subcontractor A?  after all, his last day of delivery is within 90 days, just not for that particular customer.

I read 713.09 closely, but it really addresses 2 improvements.  Then I read the definition of Improvement and it includes buildings... "or any part thereof" which leads me to think that one building can be comprised of multiple improvements.  I can therefore see the basis for answering the question as "Yes", do you see a basis for answering the question "No"?
