[CLC-Discussion] Lien Law Question

[leslie.tomczak at akerman.com]

Good afternoon.  I have a “lien law” question.

Does a major manufacturer (like GE or Whirlpool - for example only), who typically only sells appliances, but in this case contracts with a general contractor, to sell, deliver and install appliances for a construction project in Florida have lien rights if it is not paid?

The installation may just consist of plugging in the appliance, or it may consist of hooking up the appliance to an existing water supply or electrical source.  For this exercise, presume that, to the extent they are required to be licensed in Florida to perform that work, they are so licensed (as my understanding of Florida licensure law, if an appliance like a dishwasher or refrigerator has to be hooked up to a water line, proper licensure is required.

Is this “lienable” work under Florida law?
