Highlight
When no amount is stated in a construction contract, the amount of a filed construction lien must be reasonably accurate for the lienholder to avoid liability for the owner's costs and reasonable attorney's fees.
Under N.D.C.C. 35-27-24.1, an owner who successfully contests the validity or accuracy of a construction lien is entitled to all attorney's fees and costs associated with the lien contest.
Determination of who is a prevailing party is based upon success on the merits, not damages.
