The review of Ontario’s Construction Lien Act (Act) began in February 2015 and in August 2016 the review committee presented its recommendations for improving the Act, which we've previously discussed.
The committee reviewed the Act for lienability, preservation & perfection of liens, holdbacks, legal procedure, construction trusts, prompt payment, adjudication, surety bonds etc.
In this article, we will review the broad changes being made to the Act, through Bill 142, as well as anticipated implementation dates.
The first step in securing mechanic’s lien or bond claim rights is often the service of a statutory notice. The statutory notice, depending on the project state, may be called any number of names: Preliminary Notice, Prelien Notice, Notice to Owner, Notice of Furnishing, and the list goes on.
Once the preliminary notice is served, and payment has not been received, a Notice of Intent may be required. A Notice of Intent is a statutory notice, required in many states, to be served prior to filing a mechanic’s lien.
