inlawrev-3478	Wilson Jr., Lloyd T.	New Bricks for the Wall: Developments in Property Law in Indiana	2001	48	.pdf	application/pdf	24326	1248	63	The exact words ofthe court are: We decline to require that any person or entity asserting a mechanic's lien must exclude from that lien any monies that constitute profit to the claimant. Courts strictly construe the lienholder's compliance with all elements ofthe statute 21 because mechanic's liens are purely creatures of statute and are in derogation of the common law.22 Although Indiana courts utilize a liberal construction ofthe remedial provisions ofthe mechanic's lien statute once a claimant establishes that his claim is within the scope ofthe statute, 23 strict compliance is initially required for each element ofthe statute, including the type ofproperty improved and the time provided for filing the notice of intention to hold mechanic's lien.	cache/inlawrev-3478.pdf	txt/inlawrev-3478.txt
