Laborer's lien

Read a random definition: retrospective law

A quick definition of Laborer's lien:

A laborer's lien is a way for workers to make sure they get paid for the work they do on a property. It means that they have a right to keep the property until they are paid. It's like a promise that the property owner will pay for the work that was done. It's also called a mechanic's lien.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A laborer's lien is a type of lien that gives laborers a security interest in a property until they have been paid for their work on that property. It is similar to a mechanic's lien, which is a type of lien that gives mechanics a security interest in a vehicle until they have been paid for their work on that vehicle.

Example: Let's say that a contractor hires a group of laborers to work on a construction project. The laborers work for several weeks, but the contractor fails to pay them for their work. In this case, the laborers may file a laborer's lien against the property to which they contributed their labor. This lien would give them a security interest in the property until they have been paid for their work.

Explanation: The example illustrates how a laborer's lien works in practice. The laborers have a legal right to be paid for their work, and the lien gives them a way to ensure that they are compensated for their labor. If the property owner wants to sell or transfer the property, they will need to satisfy the lien by paying the laborers what they are owed.
