Court reviews validity of materialman's lien

BOLON CUSTOM KITCHENS v. ROBERT AND NORMA PARMAN (Tenn. Ct. App. March 8, 2010)

Materials supplier filed suit to enforce a lien upon property for unpaid costs of improvement to the residence; the trial court granted supplier's motion for summary judgment. The property owners appeal, asserting that supplier's lien was barred by the filing of the Notice of Completion or, in the alternative, that supplier's Notice of Lien was not properly filed with the Register's Office. Finding that supplier had a valid lien, the trial court's judgment is affirmed.
