This was an informative webinar exploring two key legal tools used to secure payment in the construction industry — construction liens and legal hypothecs. Although both methods protect the rights of owners and those supplying labour, materials or rented equipment, the rules, procedures and enforcement mechanisms differ across Quebec and other Canadian jurisdictions.
Agenda Highlights Included:
- The fundamental purposes and legal foundations of construction liens and legal hypothecs
- How lien and hypothec rights are created, perfected and enforced
- Key differences in timelines, filing requirements and remedies
- Practical considerations for owners, contractors, subcontractors and suppliers operating in multiple provinces
