Re: CA Lien Sale Law
I have a brilliant idea. Forget about liens or no liens. If he did the work, then PAY HIM! Otherwise, assuming that he did the work and did it properly, the court will probably award him the reasonable value of his services under a quasi-contract theory.
Re: CA Lien Sale Law
Can he? Of course; anybody can sue anybody for anything. Winning requires proof of claim.
Re: CA Lien Sale Law
Yes, it is true. Unless you made it clear to him from the very beginning, that his work was voluntary and to be without pay, he probably has a reasonable expectation to be paid, and the court will probably give him the value of the services he performed. There is no law requring a mechanic to be certified or have any license in order to get paid for his serbvices.
