<DIV>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.</DIV>

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). </SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Wingdings; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">J</SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">

facts:<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; COLOR: navy; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; COLOR: navy; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Plaintiff
filed Claim of Lien on May 28, 2009, alleging the last work was done on March
4, 2009.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; COLOR: navy; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">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.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; COLOR: navy; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Plaintiff
filed suit to foreclose the Amended Claim of Lien on March 30,
2011.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; COLOR: navy; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">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 <U>Hayutin v.
Cochran Const. Co., Inc</U>. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; COLOR: navy; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">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.

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?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
