I understand the concern.  When it comes to requests for referrals and  
experts, I think those responses should be directed back to the recipient  
only.  However, when a member asks a legal questions, I think it is  beneficial 
to all that we exchange the ideas/responses with everyone.  (My  Italian 
grandmother was the only one I have known that knew everything, and she  has 
long since passed.).  The questions are generally not clear cut and  
frequently concern issues many of us face.
 
As long as the subject line clearly lists the topic, it is very quick and  
easy to hit delete and free up the mailbox.

There have been complaints in  the past about the time to review such 
communication when members feel that  they are not interested in the topic.    
I also see the other  educational point of view and defer to our chair, 
Herr Tritt, to establish  policy.   
My prior understanding was  that there was concern expressed by some 
members about being bombarded on a  topic.  
There is also the issue that  some members may respond privately if they 
are concerned about others seeing  the response (for various reasons), which 
is an option at any time if the  e-mail address is given (otherwise to be 
looked up). 
Perhaps the initial question  (which obviously goes to the entire list) and 
any first responses (to go to  the list), with further discussion on the 
issue being either:   
1) public to all on the list,  using discretion to not oversaturate.   
2) limited to the people  communicating person to person.   
Members can always choose the  person to person communication. 
I thought that we had  addressed this issue in the past but I don’t find 
any record of  it. 
Herr Tritt?  Executive  decision or meeting agenda item?

Personally,  I enjoy reading these back-and-forth dialogues and really 
appreciate being  included on the mailing list!  The discussion is always lively 
and  enlightening (even if purely academic) and on almost all occasions 
these  exchanges tend to be pertinent to either something I’m working on, 
something  I’ve got on the back-burner, or something likely to present itself in 
the  future (which is why I save these discussions in my “Legal Research” 
folder  for future reference). J  Of course, if it’s something I genuinely 
have no interest in whatsoever,  simply hitting the Delete button is no great 
hardship...  Thanks!

Krista, 
I don’t think that you are  crazy, but I think that the trial court was 
correct.  In Hayutin  the amended claim of lien was recorded more than 90 days 
after the date of  last work recited in the amended claim of lien. 
You still may be able to argue  that you are prejudiced by the amendment, 
if you can prove any  prejudice.  The lienor must still prove that it worked 
up to the date  alleged in the amended claim of lien, which work was not 
warranty  work. 
Suggestion:  When you ask  a question like this you should include your 
personal e-mail address so that  responses need not go to all members of the 
committee.

Subject:  [RPPTL-constructionlaw] Timeliness of Amended Claim of  Lien

 
 
Hi  all,

I got  a bad ruling this afternoon and I was wondering if any of you know 
of some  awesome caselaw that is on point off the top of your head…here’s 
the  facts: 
Plaintiff  filed Claim of Lien on May 28, 2009, alleging the last work was 
done on March  4, 2009. 
Plaintiff  filed an Amended Claim of Lien on April 7, 2010, alleging the 
last work was  done on March 2, 2010, but specifically stating that it was 
being filed to  amend the claim of lien from ’09. 
Plaintiff  filed suit to foreclose the Amended Claim of Lien on March 30,  
2011. 
We  filed a Motion to Dismiss for the Defendant, stating that the Amended 
Claim of  Lien was way too late, pursuant to §713.08(4)(b) and the case of 
Hayutin v.  Cochran Const. Co., Inc.   
The  Judge denied the Motion to Dismiss stating that since the Plaintiff 
was  amending the last date of work performed, and since the amended claim of 
lien  was filed within 90 days of that new date, then it was timely.    
This  seems to completely gut the statute and goes against the whole “
strictly  construed creature of statute” claim of lien law that I had learned.  
Am  I crazy and the Judge is right or is she off base and I should be filing 
a  Motion for Rehearing as soon as I can? 
Thanks  in advance for all your help, all you wonderful brilliant  people!
