Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mechanics' Lien Laws in Canada: With the Acts of Ontario, Manitoba, British Columbia, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick, and the Ordinances of Alberta and Saskatchewan Relating Thereto, and Annotations and Forms of Proceedings Thereunder; And Also the Articles of the Quebec Civil Code Deal The decisions upon the Mechanics' Lien Acts existing in various Provinces in Canada and the amendments to the Statutes dealing with this subject have been so numerous of recent years, and the subject itself has become so extensive as to warrant the publication of a new treatise. While fully sensible of imperfections in the execution of this work, it is, nevertheless, hoped that it may prove useful to the profession. There are some variations in the Statutes of the different Provinces on this subject, but, very few of them are substantial and the main sections of the various Statutes are so nearly alike as to make the decisions in one Province of value to the practitioners in the other Provinces. Moreover, it is thought that judicial interpretations of similar sections in the Statutes existing in various States in the adjoining Republic will be useful to the practitioners in Canada. Statutes in New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and other States of the Union, on this subject use, with very little variation, the phrases of the sections used in the Mechanics' Lien Acts existing in various Provinces in Canada, and it is felt that, as there are certain principles common to the jurisprudence of both countries, the decisions that have expounded the Statutes which have been enacted in various States of the Union will aid either directly, or by analogy, in the construction of similar Acts passed by our Provincial Legislatures. Bramwell, B., in Osborn v. Gillett, (1873) L.R. 8 Exch. 92, said, in speaking of United States decisions on another branch of the law: "The American authorities are not binding on us indeed, but are entitled to respect as the opinion of professors of English law and entitled to respect according to the positions of those professors and the reason they give for their opinions."
