<p class="MsoNormal">Assuming you already sued the property owner to foreclose the lien (before bonding) and that the same owner entity is the principal on the cash bond, then you don’t need to add a new party. You just need to amend your Complaint to reflect
that the relief requested is no longer the foreclosure of a lien on real property but a foreclosure against the bond proceeds deposited with the Clerk as substitute security for Plaintiff’s lien claim. You still have to prove up the lien elements but at the
end of the day your final judgment is not for the sale of real property to satisfy the lien but a direction to the Clerk to release to the Plaintiff the judgment amount from the funds held by Clerk as substitute security for the lien.<o:p></o:p></p>
