E.B. Roberts Construction Co. V. Concrete Contractors Inc‪.‬

We granted certiorari to review the judgment of the Colorado Court of Appeals in Concrete Contractors, Inc. v. E.B. Roberts Construction Co., 664 P.2d 722 (Colo. App. 1982), a case arising out of a project to construct a K-Mart store in Brighton, Colorado. The Adams County District Court awarded damages to Concrete Contractors, Inc. (CCI) and Ideal Construction Service, Inc. (Ideal) against E.B. Roberts Construction Co. (Roberts), the general contractor, in the amount of $28,031 for work performed under a subcontract, and additional damages of $8,941 for profits lost when Roberts wrongfully terminated the subcontract. the trial court also decreed that the plaintiffs had a mechanic's lien in the amount of $28,031 based on the work performed. Roberts appealed, and the court of appeals affirmed. We granted certiorari to determine whether CCI and Ideal forfeited all rights to a mechanic's lien by wrongfully filing a lien statement for an amount exceeding the amount due. See §§ 38-22-123, -128, 16A C.R.S. (1982). We also elected to review on certiorari whether CCI, which was not a party to the written subcontract between Ideal and Roberts, could enforce the subcontract when CCI performed the work to be accomplished by Ideal pursuant to that agreement. We affirm the judgment.
