When is the deadline for perfection of a preserved construction lien - ninety days?
The catalogue records a 90 days period from The last day, under s 31, on which the lien could have been preserved. This draft page remains free only until its source, worked example and limits are reviewed.
Source link required
This page is in preparation. It does not offer an automated deadline or a paid record until the missing source or calculator evidence is complete.
In preparation
The existing catalogue does not yet have a registered adapter or source evidence for this exact question. It remains available as a public preparation page only.
Example pending review
A separately reviewed fixture is required before this question can become indexable. The page does not present an unreviewed output as an example.
Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 90 days
- Trigger
- The last day, under s 31, on which the lien could have been preserved
- Counting
- The encoded calculator method must be independently documented before publication.
- Rollovers and holidays
- Holiday, closure and order treatment must be independently documented before publication.
This route remains in preparation until a pinpoint official source is recorded.
- NONE. An unperfected lien expires and cannot be revived. Section 36(4) allows a preserved lien to be perfected by sheltering under another claimant's perfected lien in respect of the same improvement, on the conditions set out there.
- Added on verification. CRITICAL COUNTING POINT: the ninety days run from the last day on which the lien COULD have been preserved under s 31, not from the day the claim for lien was actually registered or given. Early preservation therefore does not shorten the perfection window, and a wrong s 31 date corrupts both dates. Perfection requires commencing an action and, where the lien attaches to the premises, registering a certificate of action on title (s 36(3)). As a statutory period it is computed under Legislation Act, 2006, s 89.
