Hall Company<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>4\/14\/22 \u2013 Contractor recorded claim of lien for $825,639.46<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>5\/17\/22 \u2013 Owner transferred Contractor\u2019s claim of lien to a lien transfer bond<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>5\/20\/22 \u2013 Owner recorded a notice of contest of Contractor\u2019s claim of lien<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Late May 2022 \u2013 Contractor recorded amended claim of lien for $1,837,516.76<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>6\/14\/22 \u2013 Contractor filed lawsuit against Owner including a lien foreclosure as to its amended claim of lien. Contractor did not sure the lien transfer bond surety<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>7\/1\/22 \u2013 Owner transferred Contractor\u2019s amended claim of lien to a lien transfer bond<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>7\/1\/22 \u2013 Owner recorded a notice of contest of Contractor\u2019s amended claim of lien<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Contractor did not amend its lien foreclosure lawsuit to sue the lien transfer bond within 60 days<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>12\/19\/22 \u2013 Owner moved for partial summary judgment on Contractor\u2019s lien foreclosure lawsuit. \u201c[Owner] asserted that transferring to bond and recorded notices of contest as to both [Contractor\u2019s] Original Claim of Lien and Amended Claim of Lien had shortened the time for [Contractor] to bring action against the bond. [Contractor] had failed to timely do so, thereby resulting in automatic extinguishment of the lien as a matter of law.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Trial court granted Owner\u2019s motion for partial summary judgment holding that \u201c[Owner\u2019s] transfer and recording of the notice of context as to the Amended Claim of Lien during the litigation shortened the time for [Contractor] to bring a claim against the bond to sixty days, and [Contractor\u2019s] failure to timely do so extinguished its lien automatically as a matter of law.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Contractor moved for a petition for a writ of certiorari to quash the trial court\u2019s order that held its lien was extinguished as a matter of law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A lienor has one year under Florida Statute Section 713.22 to foreclose on a claim of lien. This time period may be shortened to 60 days by an owner recording a notice of context of lien under Florida Statute Section 713.24. &nbsp;The notice of contest statute provides, \u201c[t]he lien of any lienor upon whom such notice is served and who fails to institute a suit to enforce his or her lien within 60 days after service of such notice shall be extinguished automatically.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Separately, under Florida Statute 713.24, a lien against real property can be transferred to the security of a lien transfer bond which removes the collateral of the lien from the real property to the lien transfer bond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Construing Florida Statutes 713.22 and 713.24 together, \u201c<strong><u>under the plain statutory language, where a lien is transferred to a bond during litigation, and the owner records a notice of contest, the lienor has \u201c60 days\u201d \u201cwithin which to commence an action to enforce any claim of lien or claim against a bond,\u201d or else the \u201clien . . . shall be extinguished automatically<\/u>.<\/strong>\u201d&nbsp;<em>Jon M. Hall Company, supra<\/em>&nbsp;(internal citations omitted).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here, it is true that [Contractor\u2019s] Original Claim of Lien was recorded, transferred, and noticed for contest before the litigation commenced. However, before the June 2022 lawsuit, [Contractor] also recorded an Amended Claim of Lien, more than doubling the amount claimed. [Contractor] thereafter filed its complaint, expressly acknowledging and seeking to recover on the higher Amended Claim of Lien. Two weeks later, [Owner] transferred the Amended Claim of Lien to the bond and recorded its notice of contest thereof, just as it had with the original one.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Thus,&nbsp;<em>after<\/em>&nbsp;[Contractor] commenced litigation on its Amended Claim of Lien, [Owner\u2019s] actions in transferring the Amended Claim of Lien to bond under section 713.24 and then recording its notice of contest of the Amended Claim of Lien under section 713.22(2) operated to shorten the time period for [Contractor] to bring an action against the surety on the bond to sixty days.<em>&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>***<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>On that question, the statutory language is quite clear: after [Contractor] \u201ccommenced\u201d this \u201cproceeding to enforce a lien\u201d expressly seeking to recover on its Amended Claim of Lien, \u201cduring such proceeding, the lien [wa]s transferred\u201d by Owner.&nbsp; When [Owner], as the owner of the property, recorded its notice of contest of the transferred Amended Claim of Lien, that \u201cshorten[ed] the time . . . within which to commence an action to enforce any claim of lien&nbsp;<em>or claim against a bond or other security<\/em>.\u201d&nbsp; Contractors failure to seek to claim against the bond within sixty days thereafter caused its lien to \u201cbe extinguished automatically\u201d by operation of law.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>***<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[Contractor] also asserts that both of [Owner\u2019s] notices of contest of lien were invalid because they were recorded after [Owner] had already transferred the claims of lien to bond. But [Contractor] has not cited, nor have we found, any support for this claim. Indeed, the only case Hall cites for this proposition involved the same order of events, without suggesting there was anything improper about it.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Jon M.
