Court determines the priority of two liens--a mechanic's lien and a deed of trust

ANCHOR PIPE COMPANY, INC. v. SWEENEY-BRONZE DEVELOPMENT, LLC ET AL. (Tenn. Ct. App. August 3, 2012)

This appeal concerns the priority of two liens, a mechanic’s lien and a bank’s deed of trust. We have determined that the trial court erred in granting summary judgment in favor of the bank. We have further determined that the mechanic’s lien is entitled to priority and that the trial court erred in failing to grant summary judgment on that issue.
