Synopsis
The Builders Lien Act is a complex piece of legislation that is one of the major cornerstones of construction and insolvency law. It gives contractors, material suppliers, and individual workers several forms of security for payment for work done or materials supplied to a building site, most notably a lien on the land. Since the introduction of the current Builders Lien Act in 1997, the construction and development industries have continued to evolve. In addition, important appellate decisions have interpreted the legislation in ways surprising to many practitioners. In this webinar, members of the Builders Lien Act Reform Project Committee Dirk Laudan and David Mckenzie will discuss the work of the Committee and the resulting Consultation Paper on the Builders Lien Act, released in September 2019.
