McCloy v. Goldbloom

This case comes before us upon a rule to strike off a mechanic’s lien entered at the above number and term.

From the notice of the filing of the lien and from the lien'itself, it appears that a mechanic’s lien was filed against the property of the defendant, wherein it was specified that the nature of the labor or materials furnished was: “Electrical wiring and installation on the above mentioned premises at 5447 Woodmont Place.”

We are of opinion that this is not a sufficiently accurate description to permit this lien to stand, the rule of law under the act being that, at the filing of a mechanic’s lien, the description of the work done or materials furnished must be as accurate as the circumstances will permit. Clearly, in this case, a more complete detailed description of the materials furnished could have been made, and for this reason the lien must be stricken off, and, therefore, the rule should be made absolute.
