Section 60. Judgment in action to foreclose lien on account of public improvement  


Latest version.
  • If, in an action to enforce a lien on account of  a  public
      improvement,  the  court  finds  that  the lien is established, it shall
      render judgment directing the state or the  public  corporation  to  pay
      over to the lienors entitled thereto for work done or material furnished
      for  such  public  improvement,  to the extent of the sums found due the
      lienors from the contractors, so much of the funds or money which may be
      due from the state or public corporation  to  the  contractor,  as  will
      satisfy  such  liens,  with interest and costs, not exceeding the amount
      due to the contractor. If it appears in  any  proceeding  in  which  the
      state is a party that a claim has been or can be filed against the state
      in  the  court of claims, or if it is alleged upon the part of the state
      that the contractor has breached the contract, then the court may render
      judgment only to the extent of determining the establishment of the lien
      or liens, and the amount or amounts thereof.
