Court of Appeals of North Carolina March 6, 1990, 8914SC597 (Electric Supply Co. of Durham, Inc. v. Swain Electrical Co.)

LEWIS, Judge.

The sole issue on this appeal is whether a second tier subcontractor has a right to a mechanic’s lien against the owner’s property when the first tier subcontractor has been fully paid but the owner still owes money to the general contractor. The lien rights claimed by plaintiff are governed by Chapter 44A. G.S.
