margin-bottom:11.25pt;margin-left:0in;text-align:justify;line-height:18.0pt">
Sec. 713.132(3), Fla. Stat. says that an owner cannot record a Notice of Termination of Notice of Commencement “except after completion of construction, or after construction ceases before completion and all lienors have been paid in full or pro rata in accordance
with § <a href="http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?mode=View%20Statutes&SubMenu=1&App_mode=Display_Statute&Search_String=713.06&URL=0700-0799/0713/Sections/0713.06.html" target="_blank">
<span style="color:windowtext;text-decoration:none">713.06</span></a>(4).” What happens if the Owner has to terminate the GC for default (defective work, work performed without a license, etc.), does not plan to pay for the defective work and, therefore, cannot
represent in a Notice of Termination that "all lienors have been paid"? We expect that there is not going to be an amicable "break-up" here and Owner needs to hire a new GC to finish/fix the Work and will need to file a new NOC for that work. What
<i>should</i> Owner do re: the old NOC? <span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
