MARYLAND MECHANIC'S LIENS---BARRY PROP. v. FICK BROS., 277 Md. 15 (1976): www.charlesjeromeware.com

www.charlesjeromeware.com. Maryland's Premier Mechanic's Lien Defense Law Firm.

The 1976  BARRY PROPERTIES, INC.  case caused a monumental change of  Maryland's mechanic's lien laws, and transformed the established Maryland mechanic's lien proceeding
to "enforce" a lien into a proceeding to establish a lien. The Barry case was also very helpful in providing
an historical account of the first Maryland mechanic's law enacted in 1791 at the urging of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, who sought the law as a means to encourage rapid construction of Washington D.C. [ Barry Properties, Inc. v. Fick Bros. Roofing Co., 277 Md. 15, 353 A.2d. 222 ( 1976) ].
