Alley v. Erbach

[89 OrApp Page 7] Plaintiffs brought this action to foreclose separate construction liens, pursuant to ORS 87.060, for rental equipment that they had provided for construction of a spillway on defendant's property. The individual defendant-appellants are members of a partnership doing business as Star Mountain Ranch (Ranch), and we refer to all appealing defendants by that name. On appeal, Ranch argues that interest assessments were improperly included in the lien amounts. It also argues that the liens were invalidated by partial destruction and subsequent reconstruction of the improvement and inaccurate property descriptions in the lien claim. We affirm in part, but disallow interest on the lien amount awarded to plaintiff Hagerty.
