[RPPTL-constructionlaw] New Jersey residential lien law arbitration

[Ed Kinberg]

I like the NJ statute in general but it would need a lot of work.

 

I don't like the AAA requirement. For small liens under 5K, their filing
fee is too high. If arbitration is being used, the parties should be
able to jointly select an arbitrator outside of AAA.

arbitration

 

We hear from time to time that residential (Ma & Pa) construction liens
should be treated differently from the typical commercial lien.  The
next time we hear about that we may want to look at something akin to
what New Jersey implemented in January, 2011, copy attached.  

 

I just put it out there for reaction from the committee, without
recommendation for or against.  If it were to be considered, it would
need a little surgery to make it comport with Florida procedure.  I just
found it interesting and thought I would share.
